Andy,
He answered many of my specific detailed questions since I have done some
fairly extensive research on the line. Contact me off list with your specific
questions; as while the F&IU fed business to the friendly Q it's really not
a Q subject for this list.
I would also recommend a recent BRHS Zephyr in which Steve Holding covered
some of the F&IU. I can't recall the issue # but the company store at the
web site can help. Also there's a 1977 issue of the Chicago,Aurora & Elgin
HS that covers the F&IU in some depth that can be found from time to time on
ebay or used books on Amazon. Additionally the F&IU is coverd extensively in
Hopkins Stolp Peffers volume 4 dated 1993 covering all the "Third Rail Family of
lines" and connections. The Illinois Railway museum was selling this volume for
only $10 at the Kane County RRiana show last fall. When printed these were
expensive volumes. Shows how the interest has waned.
Also a Kendall County plat map dated prior to 1939 will show the line and
the city conenctions at Yorkville.
