Excellent photo's, Fantastic faces, what stories they can tell. Just look at that equipment at 2:41 Wow! Many visits to Galesburg a regular for many years at Railroad Days. Thanks for the video.
Many of my relatives attended the Coldbrook Church and on the other side of the family my Grandfather Lee Guenther(engineer) and Uncle Vern German(engineer) and Uncle Troy Roach(conductor) all worked for the CB&Q.
Wonderful pictures! I wasn't born until five years after these were taken, but I grew up in and around Galesburg, including the Coldbrook area, and have wonderful memories of the trains. Galesburg is why I love trains.
Great pictures. My grandfather worked as a Machinist. Father worked as Electrician for 45 years. Rember going to Roundhouse to see dad. Torn down now.
That was so enjoyable to watch, and clear pictures, thank you for posting.
