The following information is from an old Q station map. There were 3 stub
tracks that were located east of Lincoln Street that were accessed from the
Main 1 siding. Two of these were parallel to the mains, and went behind the
freight house, which was just west of Washington Street. These two tracks
ended within a few feet of Washington. The third track turned north after
crossing Lincoln and went to some coal sheds. It ended at the south edge of
Chicago Avenue, at about the middle of the block between Lincoln and
Washington. There was no evidence on the map that any trackage existed north
of the depot between Washington and Garfield Streets. The Q did own some of
this block north of the station parking lot at one time.

came off #1 main at West Hinsdale go all the east to a point opposite the
Hinsdale depot at one time? Was there a frt house there in what is now the park
with a fountain ?Leo Phillipp**************Start the year off right. Easy ways
