[CBQ] Re: Livestock Pens at Oregon, IL

[Q5632west@aol.com]

Hi all:

Two weeks ago I posted a note among a group of non-railfan current and 
ex-Oregon residents soliciting information and recollections about the 
livestock pens at Oregon.  Got zero response.

My recollections of Oregon and the Burlington date to about 1956, and I 
have no memory of ever seeing the pens used or livestock cars parked in 
the yard.  That, of course, does not mean the pens were out of service 
by that time.

I have added a photo that includes the pens to my Oregon album in our 
Yahoo CBQ group.  It's not much of a photo being cropped from the 
middle of a battered Brownie negative, but it does show the pens, a 
building just beyond that I associate with the pens, and the tail of a 
departing Zephyr.
