[CBQ] Re: [PCL] Yet another concept in the passenger yard

["cvlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

Cross-posting to the CB&Q list....
Rich Gortowski asked on the Passenger Car List where did the ice come from that 
was used at 14th Street to ice the Dinkies?
I wonder if the plant at Clyde was used to supply Chicago (and Aurora and I 
suppose Downers Grove when it was in use) with ice?
I imagine that it was mechanically produced in later years but it triggers the 
question where did the CB&Q harvest ice when natural ice was the major
source of refrigeration?

  Bob,

  In many photos of Chicago Union Station (CUS) you can see the CB&Q's bulk 
propane tank, the individual bottles, and a string of the old, non-revenue, ice 
reefers which are now company ice cars for icing the commuter cars. I wonder 
where that ice came from?
