I have 6 different examples of Purington Pavers. If you look the M&St L used
Oskaloosa Brick, IT used Danville Block, CNW used Boone Brick and Tile
The platform at Pacific Jct., Iowa was from a plant in Neb. All examples of on
line shippers. Also possible salvage from car damage. There was even a story
of a CB&Q/Military Railroader who got home sick in India because the water front
in Bombay was paved with Purlington Pavers

Never have opened my brick collection since the move
