[CBQ] Lee IL rail served industries

[Michael Matalis <mmatalis@sprynet.com>]

I spent Thursday photographing around Lee IL on the old Aurora Sub  
between Shabbona and Steward.  I noticed a disconnected rail spur on  
the east side of the main line north of the County Line Rd grade  
crossing, a bit of a surprise since I've visited this area many times  
and never noticed it before since it was hidden in the weeds.  I'm  
curious if anyone knows what kind of businesses this little spur  
served?  Nowadays the area is home to a couple semi-derelict looking  
small businesses (including a company that supplied tunneling  
equipment, a rather odd business for the middle of the Illinois  
prairies) and looks more like a junk yard than anything else.  Any  
info will be greatly appreciated!


Thank you kindly,
