I really enjoyed the newest Burlington Bulletin #46 - Aurora Track  
Elevation. This issue has greatly helped my perception of both Aurora and  the 
Clyde Yard. 
 
I've been working on plans to model the Racetrack between Aurora and  
Chicago as N-Trak modules -- a selective compression of 40 miles into 40 feet  
that would include Aurora, Clyde Yard, and Chicago Union Station. After 
several  years of research (and procrastinating), I finally have built about 
half 
my  benchwork in the last couple of months.
 
My representation of Aurora will be restricted to the area immediately  
around the Broadway St. station.
Pretty much the same with Chicago as the area around CUS.
 
I want to represent Clyde Yard, but again must downsize to a smaller  
version. It will include the roundhouse / diesel building, fueling depot,  
staging / sorting yard, and piggyback loading. I have an aerial photo of  Clyde 
from 2002. The drawings that came with BB 46 really clarify what I'm  looking 
at. 
 
I do have questions about the piggyback loading. In the drawing, I can see  
tracks and ramps for circus wagon style loading. I also see what I believe 
are  gantry cranes near the corners of Freighthouse 9. Does anyone know if 
these are  MiJack Cranes? If not, does anyone know when MiJack cranes were 
brought  into Clyde?  MiJack was founded in 1954. My son repairs MiJack cranes 
(and  yes he's kept busy), so I would like to include one if it meets my 
era  (mid-1960's) 
 
I have found the web site "Historic Aerials" most usefully in my research.  
their address is:
_http://www.historicaerials.com/_ (http://www.historicaerials.com/) 
 
Unfortunately, they don't have photos of all areas. As for Cicero/Clyde  
Yard, aerial photos are available for 1938, 1951, 1962, 1972, 1988, 1998, 
2002,  2005, and 2007 which leaves several large gaps in the CB&Q era.  It's  
amazing the changes that have occurred at Clyde over the past 50 years!  
 
Thanks in advance for any information about the MiJack cranes at Clyde  
Yard!
