I see from the "industries" page on the BRHS web page that Aurora 
refining shipped tallow in tank cars. However, in subsequent research I 
find that a lady who worked there analyzed aluminum. (whatever that 
means) Here is a quote from her obit:

"At the Aurora Refining Company, Thompson became the first woman to 
join a male-dominated industry of recycling aluminum."

The question for you Aurora folks is - which is right? More 
specifically what kind of cars would the Q setout at this industry?

I beleive it was located at the east end of the Montgomery sheep yard, 
kinda at the "crotch" of the wye.

Thanks group.
