[CBQ] Oswego,IL on the Mainlie of the Q-vanished station

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Just as FYI to those that may be interested. Back in March I  posted a 
message asking about a station on the mainline that served Oswego,IL  until the 
O.O. & F.V. RR was built directly through Oswego(See below). In  reviewing 
my discovery of an 19895 ETT I have found the answer.
 
The station was North Oswego. It was 2.2 miles west of  Montgomery and 3.3 
miles east of Bristol.

Just finished reading E W Hicks 1877 "History of Kendall  County" 
(Illinois).
 
Learned that just as there was a "Bristol Station" on the  mainline at what 
is now called Bristol that served the twin towns of  Bristol/Yorkville on 
the river. There was a Oswego Station along the mainline  for Oswego until 
such time as the Ottawa,Oswego and Fox River Vally RR came thru  along the 
river. Once that was built the "Oswego Station" business gradually  declined 
until it was closed.
 
Anyone have an idea where this station may have been between  Bristol 
Station and Montgomery ? Author states it was approx 2 and 1/2  miles NE of the 
village.
