Would coal have been the only incentive to go to Joliet?

Thanks Charlie

Pretty neat stuff as I didn't know about the Aurora-Joliet research, My comment about Earlville-Sheridan -Joliet was that in our time this was the line to Burgess. I simply suspect that several roads were looking for coal around coal city/Wilmington as the Streator/Ottawa stuff played out and it was my thought that the J simply got there first and given the limited amount of coal the Q decided not to go there.

Leo-

IIRC Francis Edward Hinckley (the builder of the Chicago & Iowa) was involved in the early efforts to build a Aurora-Joliet road.

The CB&Q was not “outmaneuvered”, the correspondence on the subject seems to indicate they simply did not see a need for the line.

Wonder who outmanuevered whom as according to Dorins "The Elgin,Joliet and Eastern" the year 1891 saw the Gardner,Coal City and Nothern folded into the EJ&E. The 1906 map shows the line complete from Plainfield(Walker) to So. Wilmington. By 1951 the line ends at Goose Lake.

 

Probably a good thing the Q didnt build east from Sheridan as the farther North in Illinois you go the less coal is in the ground.
