[CBQ] Re: CB&Q Batavia, IL

Bill,

This is a northbound special in Aurora coming down off the C&I on the NIFA 
branch. The grade crossing is Rathbone Avenue. The photo before it shows the 
train at the old Barber-Greene headquarters a few blocks father north. I've 
forgotten what the special was about but I'll bet Steve Holding knows....
