I have this slide but there is no info on the mount. Recognize this location? Thanks

Well, not much to go on there, but 2 guesses; WB at the cemetery crossing in New Carlisle IN on the NS.  Not sure how much BN power ran through in the old days but I know it does now.

2nd guess is a WB climbing West Burlington hill, just east of the Hwy 61 overpass.

The only thing that bothers me about these locations is I'd think they'd have already had welded rail installed by the time the paint scheme on the U-boat had been applied.

Not quibbling with your guesses, Andy, (they're better than mine,) but it looks to me like there's welded rail on both tracks.
