I need your help finding photos of the Qs Chicago freight houses.
.
I have an article about 1/2 completed on LCL and the Qs Chicago Freight
Houses that I will submit to the BRHS for consideration as a Bulletin in the
future. The article will contain the history of all the Chicago houses(as
best I can) and an overview/outline of LCL operations in Chicago. Along with
a general discussion of the difficulties and issues of LCL. Additionally
there is a history of the rise and fall of LCL and freight forwarders. It
will also include Q track and engineering diagrams of several house
layouts, internal company correspondence about which house was responsbile for
what business during certain time periods,layouts of House 1 and 2 door
assignments, highlights of that part of the 1937 ICC report on LCL pertaining
to
the Q in Chicago,pieces from the Qs Bulletins on the Chicago houses over
the years,Railway age articles on house 10,etc,etc.
However what I dont have are photos of House 10,House 9,house 8,old house
7(on the west side of Western Ave,house 6 ,house 5, house 4,and house 3. I
do have shots of House 1 and 2 from track side so views from Canal St would
be appreciated.
I would appreciate your help and you'll certainly be credited when(If) the
article is eventually published as a BRHS bulletin.
