Possibly something to do with slag ballast?

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.
