[CBQ] Industries along the Q-General Mills

[qutlx1@aol.com]

I'm thinking about writing an article for the Zephyr segment,"Indutries  
along the Q",about General Mills at West Chicago. I have photos,track  
diagrams and first hand experience switching the plant. But...............
 
Why would General Mills locate on a Q branch 12 miles from the nearest yard 
 when the" Norwegian" had a mainline and a yard right next door? 
 
We know the Q had an industrial development department  and so  did the CNW 
based Gene Lewis "12,000 days..." . There was plenty of vacant  land along 
the CNW.
 
Anybody have any facts on this question ?
