>From aboard the Business car Burlington:
Just wanted to report that the negotiations with the Moehn Brewery went
extremely well today. They have agreed to locate their new brewery along our
tracks at the start of the grade on the West Burlington Hill. We will provide a
private siding to bring in shipments of coal, grain, malt and bottles and
handle reefers of their product to the Chicago/St. Louis distributors.
Fortunately, the new brewery is closely located to the Heil Ice Company for
convenient loading of ice in the reefers.
By the way...this is the Burlington & Missouri RIVER Rail Road...I'm not sure
why the confusion with this Valley line.... :-)
Also, for those who may not be aware...the B&MRR is located in my basement in
St. Louis, MO. I'm hoping to have the golden spike driven and trains operating
over the entire line between Galesburg & Creston by June of next year. NMRA
National Convention "Gateway 2001" will be in STL July 8-15, 2001. (Shameless
plug).
