[CBQ] Streator Spring Meet: Thanks!

[Gerald & Virginia Edgar <vje68@hotmail.com>]

A big "thanks" to all the volunteers who prepared and conducted the Spring meet.

 

The best 'surprise' I & the group I was found was going a few miles NW to 
Lenora (on the abandoned line from Streator to Zearing) and finding the depot 
still in place!  Now owned by a Ham Radio group and mostly covered with siding, 
there was enough exposed to see the old 'red' on board & bat.  Also we got to 
see the inside including the old floor, the 'attic' (all the original beams, 
etc) AND the basement!  That was the real surprise - I do not recall ever 
seeing a small to medium CB&Q depot with a basement and it was original from 
the old foundation evidence (and a 6'6" to 7' ceiling - NOT a crawl space!)

 

Also 'Smitty's' bar/cafe in Lenora (which is why we drive there for lunch) 
served a tenderloin that MANY attendees can attest to that was approx. 8" wide 
& 15" long - all for $5.50.  Would feed a family of 4!    Tks again Laird Brown 
& Bob Weber for tipping us off!
