I'm surprised that no one mentioned the first locomotive, Pioneer that is on
display at the Chicago Historical Society. Not CB&Q related, but the Dearborn
Street Station is neat as well as the Santa Fe building on Michigan Avenue. If
you have the chance to get to Mendota, they have a museum in the depot and have
CB&Q steam locomotive 4978 on display. Leo McCauley is part of the list and
would probably be thrilled to show you the Mendota collection. It's only about
30 to 45 minutes from Aurora.

Hi all,
I have a few days this coming weekend that I will spend in Chicago on
my way to Milwaukee for the Tourist Railway convention. I plan on
staying downtown and will visit Union station, Roosevelt Road viaduct,
and take the dinky out to Aurora with several stops in between. I plan
on visiting the roundhouse /restaurant in Aurora.
Anyone have any other suggestions on "must see"?
Thanks,
Dale Grice
