Galesburg, IL: CB&Q Seminary Street and Waterman Towers

Seminary: (Satellite)

Waterman: (Satellite)

Darren Ferreter posted fourteen photos from 1984ish.

Roger Puta has a photo that includes the tower. Roger's photos are in the public domain (an acknowledgement is requested), but the copy I found is blocked by a TrainOrders login.

The red rectangle is my guess as to where the tower stood.

This photo reinforces my guess.

[Note the coaling tower in the background.]
David Jordan: I'd say this pre-dates BN's 1983-1986 reconstruction of the Galesburg Yard.
Jon Roma: Seminary St. Tower and the old depot still stood in 1982. I don't remember when they disappeared, but it was not too many years after that.
[A comment identified the locomotive as delivered in July 1980.]

The 2005 SPV Map shows that it was in at the south end of the railyard. Here we can see the shadow of the tower. Note the overpass of the northern leg of the wye is in the left background of Marty's photos.
