You have to join the CB&Q Yahoo list to see this, but it is a former CB&Q water tank at Villisca, Iowa, apparently still standing: http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/EJyzRfP6O2 ... 0tower.JPG |

Can't pull up photo but is it a wood tank or metal tank? Les |

There is also one in Hamburg, Iowa on the Napier Line (Pacific Jct, Iowa to Kansas City, Mo.) A friend of mine was photographing this and one of the locals asked why he wanted a picture of a popcorn storage bin. Seward, Nebraska still has one right next to the highway(15) as you enter town from the south. This one is on the Columbus branch of CB&Q's Alliance line. I would imagine it costs plenty to demolish or move one of these big steel tanks. |
