When they were doing all the work in downtown Aurora for the casino, a lot of
the streets got rebuilt. During some of this work they dug up RR tracks
including switches that got buried after the lines were closed.

Steve-
I am sure there are people on this list that can add to the obvious street
running / switching venues on the Q at
Aurora (the "alley job" along the old grade-level main line route through
Aurora) and the Lumber District in Chicago's
near south side (where they even had left hand throttled steam switchers
because of the configuration of the sidings
in that area).
Charlie Vlk
Could anyone please tell me if the Q did any street running/switching anywhere
in Illinois, whether it be Chicago or through downstate villages' main or
sidestreets? If so, are there any good visual sources of what this looked like?
Many thanks in advance,
Steve Doyle
