RE: [CBQ] Burlington park 100 years ago

Tks Leo - sounds like this may well have been used by picknickers in the late 
1800's/early 1900's.  I noted from the City of Naperville's website, Burlington 
Park is "leased".  i wonder if BN still owns it (or someone whom they or CB&Q 
sold the land to uyrs ago)  Now we just need to find a 1900 or so ETT for the 
area!

Some years ago the industrial spur along the south side of the mains at 
Naperville continued westward past the current Ozinga concrete plant and the 
old Standard Oil bulk plant.Then turned southward into the woods. More than 
one old head told me that at one time the track went all the way down to 
the Quarry and was referred to as the "river track"
