Before J. M. Huber bought it, the company was known as Calcium Carbonate 
Company or (C.C.C.). I'm not sure what they shipped, I assume anything 
to do with limestone. The company is South of Quincy and the do their 
mining in caves along the bluffs about half a mile east of the 
Mississippi River. Together with ADM (ex Quincy Soybean) they seem to 
account for most of the freight shipped by rail from Quincy. Some of the 
leftover mine caves are used for an underground warehouse. The local 
Miller beer distributer is located there. There is a rail siding that 
goes into the warehouse, I'm not sure if it is used.
