Re: [CBQ] Burlington park 100 years ago

That is correct.  There was a sort of team track just west of downtown where 
coal was off-loaded from hoppers.  Not sure who received the coal.  IIRC, the 
track was in the middle of the street.

      Some years ago the industrial spur along the south side of the  mains at 

Naperville continued westward past the current Ozinga concrete plant  and the 

old Standard Oil bulk plant.Then turned southward into the woods. More  than 

one old head told me that at one time the track went all the way down to  

the Quarry and was referred to as the "river track"
