Re: [CBQ] Yards in Chicago

["Charlie Vlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

I have never heard of a Robie Street Yard on the Q.   The Western Avenue Yard 
is adjacent to, or nearly so, the B&O's Robie Street Yard and
the C&NW Global whatever which used to be the Potato Terminal / Produce Yard... 
I think it had another name as well.
Western Avenue goes back as a name for the Q facilities in this general 
vicinity prior to the Track Elevation and at least back to the Great
Burlington Strike and the Riot at the Viaduct.
