[CBQ] Re: CB&Q Yard @ Riverside, Illinois

[Denny Anspach <danspach@macnexus.org>]

For what little it may be worth, I lived in Riverside 1937-1952 (did 
not sell home until 1985), and as long as I can recall, the old yard 
property was a coal company (the owner's son was a classmate). Others 
will be far more precise, but my hazy recollection is that the 
terminal disappeared about the time that a new terminal was opened in 
Downers Grove (date?). Whether or not there was an interval time that 
the railroad continued to use the yard space for its own purposes 
prior to becoming a coal yard (leased land?), I have not the 
slightest.
