Russ-
I believe you are correct from a municipal boundary viewpoint but as the plant
was essentially on the same land as the Congress Park Yard I'm not sure that
Leo isn't correct from a CB&Q perspective.
If you tried to drop the Airslides off on a Brookfield siding for GW I'll bet
you'd hear about it!!!

GW distribution plant was not at Congress Park but Brookfield. I said
nothing about modern tank cars, I was referring to connections with the
IHB loaded by the GW.
Current Brookfield plant only handles current as needed. Cars being held
are kept on track #22 at Western Ave. That is the standard switching carload
tracks that is all used at Western Ave. Intermodal is all that is used at
Cicero.
