| John Stell posted TP&W Water tower with westbound train. Picture marked Mapleton but I think may be Hollis. Date and photographer unknown. John Stell collection. [The comments agree that it was probably at Hollis instead of Mapleton.] |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on John's post Hollis is an example of where the more maps I looked at, the more confused I got. I also learned that the Peoria Terminal Company was a subsidiary of the Rock Island. I put a black rectangle around the dot that I presume was the water tower. Purple was the combined trackage of PTC and TP&W whereas red and blue were their separate tracks. Yellow was the C&NW. Green was the Peoria & Pekin Union. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on John's post I analyzed the routes in 1939 to help me determine where to put the pink dot on a contemporary satellite view. Red is the TP&W. (Where does the Keokuk Junction start?) Yellow is the UP. Green is the P&PU remnant that is now connected to UP to serve the Cargill Salt transload facility. PTC is gone. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on John's post I did a quick look at 1939 Mapleton to see if I could find a water tower dot. I could not. |
