Archie: This information has been very helpful, but has raised another question regarding Armour to Winthrop. If Armour to Winthrop was built by KCStJ&CB in 1898, then the original line by Platte Co.
I am looking for verification of MP location for Rupert (MP 305.2?) and Poe (MP 314.7?), Nebraska. Both towns were on the original mainline (Rupert between Culbertson and Trenton, and Poe between Tre
There was a line change in 1910 roughly between MP 520 and 525, where the original line was relocated around the west side of what became Barr Lake. CB&Q maps seem to suggest that the 1910 relocation
Mike: The information I have for Clarion matches what Russ has furnished, but here is additional information. Alignment charts from as far back as 1930 show a stub track with a switch on the east end
If you like bridges and just a small interchange between the two railroads, you could model Talmage Jct. Iowa. The Q double track main line crossed the Grand River and the CGW on two separate bridges
I am looking for information on more abandoned stations, specifically between Guernsey and Bonneville, WY. I am working from an old list printed on blueprint paper, where the removed stations are vis
I don't know if it was modified as you described, but I observed Silver Leaf being used at Burlington, IA as what I assumed was DZ-40, on many week nights during the summer of 1966. Silver Leaf would
I have an old Station Mileage book for Lines West that at one time listed a station between Dunning and Halsey on the line between Ravenna and Alliance. This abandoned station is erased in the book b
Russ and Kenneth: Thanks much. You nailed the name. With a magnifying glass, I can see now that the second letter could easily be a D instead of an O. Glen Haug To: CBQ@yahoogroups.comFrom: borneo@19
Dave: I was finally able to check the BNSF R/W map, and I was disappointed to see that all of the trackage, including the siding, had been erased. All of the R/W lines are still there, but that is pr
The following information is from an old Q station map. There were 3 stub tracks that were located east of Lincoln Street that were accessed from the Main 1 siding. Two of these were parallel to the
I can't get the search feature to work on the messages, but I seem to recall an old message asking about the spelling of Huckleberry Finn on the original Mark Twain Zephyr, and whether it included th
Archie: I rode the Zephyr-Rocket every Sunday night in the summer of 1966 from Hannibal to Burlington, and my recollection is the same as yours. I didn't know the engine crews but the two conductors
Archie: It was Mr. Rigler. And now that I think of it, I wonder if one of the engineers would have been Joe Sarver. GH To: CBQ@yahoogroups.comFrom: kliner@mywdo.comDate: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 23:37:06 -06
I have 2 questions about this branch line that hopefully someone on the list can answer. At Galena Jct. the branchline appears to cross the CGW on a diamond after leaving the Q westbound main. Is thi
I don't know how much information is known about this short-lived line that lasted only about 10 years. The other day I followed the old roadbed using one of those map web sites called local.live, an
Justin: A slight correction to the crossover orientation at Highlands. The westerly crossover is Main 3 to Main 2 eastward, but the easterly crossover is Main 2 to Main 1 westward. The crossovers at
Brandon: I have a 1967 Consolidated Code and a 1929 edition of Burlington Lines Rules of the Operating Department, both of which show signal aspects in color. However, I do not know the procedure to,
This isn't related to a car rolling on its own, but I was on a B&B gang that had to move a material gon a few fit on a spur track, and 5 of us were able to move it (by pushing and using pinch bars) o
I am getting ready to construct a model of the Hinsdale main station, also known as the Brush Hill station. The station has been extensively changed from the CB&Q drawings (i.e. the east building whi
