[CBQ] Burlington,South Chicago Terminal RR CO.?

[Leo <qutlx1@aol.com>]

If this subject has been previously discussed I apologize for asking ...........

I have found references to the Burlington,South Chicago Terminal Company in 
Overtons history and in Vol 1 of the Q's Documentary history by Baldwin. Per 
these it was incorporated in early 1917 from property acquired from the EJ&E 
between 100th and 106th ST. It was near the mouth of the Calumet river and the 
Belt Rwy Tracks were used to access it.The property was 29 acres and contained 
approx 10 miles "of main and side tracks". Must have been really jammed in 
tight.

I would guess this was used for grain going into boats ? Does anyone have any 
details as to what business was handled there,volume and when? Overton states 
when acquired "there was no need for these facilities ". But we're purchased 
with the expectation for use.
