Here are some more clues to verify that Charlie is correct. The bridge number is painted on the end of the most southerly TPG girder, which is Bridge 4.54 which is Marshall Boulevard. This area was p
There was an item on ebay, perhaps a year ago, of a track profile of the mainline across Iowa, and I wonder if anyone remembers it or actually bought it. It was a long drawing, showing the profile of
I'm wondering if anyone on the list can shed light about a coaling station at Cleveland, Iowa. There is no plan shown in the CD distributed by the BRHS on Coaling Stations. Cleveland was near present
Louis: I have station maps of Browning and Bader and a R/W map from Browning to Bader. None of these maps show an engine terminal per se, but all of the maps show the tracks as they existed before an
Leo and Others: There were searchlight interlocking signals at this location in 1940. The automatic block signals were still 2 blade lower quad semaphores until 1942, at which time CTC was installed
Gordon: I am fairly certain that this photo is north of East Dubuque, just south of MP 189. The overhead bridge in the background is Bridge 188.84, which I believe is access to Dam 11, and may have b
Tom: Can you send me the photo, or at least describe which direction it is facing, and if you know if the photo is before or after Savanna Tower was removed. I am not familiar with this particular si
Tom: After looking at the photo, I didn't realize until now that this eastward signal had a lunar associated with it. I looked at a CB&Q alignment chart from 1967, and discovered that the eastward si

Charlie: I have a public timetable for July-August 1929 that lists both the Empire Builder and Oriental Limited. It is listed without fan-fare in the Condensed Schedule between Chicago and the Pacifi
Charlie: I don't know if they were considered low profile, but the trucks on the gallery cars had 33" wheels, so the top of the casting could have been 1-1/2" lower that trucks with 36" wheels. I hav
Group: I have some factory finished Shoreham TCZ cars that have clear windows installed (except the dome windows). I'm thinking of changing them to tinted windows, but I want to put interiors in them
Louis: You mentioned secret passengers, and the lack of air conditioning in the Chicago GOB. Before it was discontinued, I sometimes commuted home from college on train #8 between Lincoln and Burling
Bill and others: I believe the first photo is the signal bridge at MP 27.04. The photo is looking eastward and the 4th track built is on the right. This bridge was constructed here in 1913 as a three
Scott and Nancy: Another comment. Your narrative does not say if he will include variations in the kit to model all of the bi-levels. A long time ago I made an inspection of all these cars at Aurora
Charlie: I am finishing some O Scale 2-Rail Weaver E9's. I have simulated the stainless steel side panels, but have discovered that decals dull the mirror finish behind the film, and also spraying wi
Lenny: Thanks. Dave Lotz sent me details of the letters, and although they were proportional they did not include dimensions. With the 8" height I can pin down the correct widths. Glen Haug From: CBQ
I'm going to guess that this photo is taken at about current MP 334.1, on the short tangent between the two reverse curves east of the Chariton depot. At first glance the train appears to be running
The old CB&Q R/W or track profile makes reference to a spur at Hopewell, identified as beginning 2.78 miles west of New Windsor. The spur was 15,976 feet long. If you project these distances west and
Brian: Attached is a photo taken of a portion of the Galesburg station map in the vicinity of the depot. The platforms and canopies all show up, although some of the platforms are fairly hard to see.
