Re: [CBQ] Re: Westmont IL question

[Michael Matalis <mmatalis@sprynet.com>]

As far as I know there are no locations along the triple track that  
had stations on both sides of the tracks. As for the baggage cart,  
there is a pedestrian crossing close by that could have been used to  
cross the tracks, so it's not landlocked to the north side.  My first  
thought when seeing this picture was that the building was for  
express, but other than a hunch I have nothing to back up my opinion.  
Which brings up an interesting secondary question, just how was  
express handled at various towns along the triple track out to Aurora  
IL?  Being a Downers Grovian I'm especially interested in how it was  
handled in my home town.


Thank you kindly,
