| Doug Hitchcock posted Browsing through a huge album of historic Kansas City photographs, I stumbled across this! The roundhouse at bottom right is for the Chicago & Alton Railroad, later acquired by the Baltimore & Ohio. [There are several comments about the foundations of a roundhouse at Francis.] Dennis DeBruler According to the 2005 SPV Map, Francis was the junction about two miles east of Mexico, MO, where the CB&Q joined the C&A route to KC. The CB&Q shared the C&A route to access Kansas City. The C&A route is now owned by KCS. BN abandoned the CB&Q route. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer... |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Doug's post The "Chicago & Alton" label in the upper right corner is the closest label I could find to the roundhouse area. I wonder if C&A shared it with CB&Q. Or did CB&Q trains use their ASB bridge to terminate north of the river? CB&Q had two more routes enter the KC area on the north side of the river. I'm really disappointed that the roundhouse doesn't show up on the topo map. Most topo maps show roundhouses. Especially at the 1:24,000 scale. 1935 Kansas City Quadrangle @ 1:24,000 https://industrialscenery.blogspot.com/.../abs-cb-1911... |
