| Marty Bernard posted CB&Q 9266 at the Rock Island, IL roundhouse on September 18, 1964. She was a SW7 built in July 1950 and became BN 132. In my photo she is showing her "Way of the Zephyrs" side. Marty Bernard shared Dennis DeBruler shared |
On the east side of the railyards, the CB&Q paralleled the Rock Island. On the west side of the yards, the CB&Q connected to the Davenport, Rock Island and North Western (DRI&NW), which was jointly owned by CB&Q and Milwaukee. The DRI&NW owned the Crescent Railroad Bridge, which is further downstream.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Marty's photo, [AR1VCMH00010296] Some remnants of the foundation are still visible: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1MmzndvzrEvDXfi67. Note that the building was a poylygon rather than an arc. I included the parking lot of the IH Farmall plant because we can see some Farmall tractors in the background of Marty's photo. 1970 aerial photo Rock Island had a roundhouse just south of CB&Q's "roundhouse." |
Note the Farmall tractors parked in a lot in the background. The International Harvester Farmall Plant was just east of here. In fact, you can see the roofs of some of their buildings. Although I cannot reconcile the angles in Marty's photo with the angles in the aerial photo.

I got the 1970 aerial photo above because there was no Farmall parking lot close to the roundhouse in 1938.
