Help With RI Locations Please
Author: WichitaJct

These two images were made from a negative someone gave me, but I can't remember who or when. Maybe you could help me with "where"? This looks like a big facility. Maybe it"s Silvis? Thanks for your help.

The last one certainly appears to be Silvis to me, but my friend Andy Brown would have a better idea.

I don't think either one is at Silvis.  The 454 seldom left Blue Island/Chicago.  Also the track
arrangement and building do not look right for Silvis.
Second pic the buildings do not look like Silvis. El Reno maybe?

I'm pretty sure both were taken in Armourdale (Kansas City), KS. From the east side that sure looks like the G.O.B. in the far background in #1 and I'm 99% sure that tin-looking building in #2 is the one that sat on the north side of the Armourdale RH turntable (which would be just out of frame to the left...)
