Have you looked at Hathi Trust? If not, try http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt/search?q1=South%20Chicago%20Terminal;id=mdp.39015010881681;view=image;seq=24;start=1;size=10;page=search;orient=0
For example, I found this piece from Railway Age Gazette 1917 volume 62 page 337
Burlington, South
Chicago Terminal Railroad.—As noted in the Railway Age Gazette of February 16,
this company has been incorporated with a capital of $1,500,000 to build a belt
line from One Hundredth street, Chicago, 111., 10 miles south-west. The road
will serve a 25-acre tract of land recently acquired by the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy, with a frontage on the west bank of the Calumet river, extending
from One Hundredth street to One Hundred and Sixth street, a distance of about
three-quarters of a mile. This property is already well developed for shipping
with track and dock facilities, including a six-stall roundhouse and a large
warehouse. The land is said to be valued at about $1,500,000, and is situated
in a territory which is becoming an important grain-handling center. The
Chicago & North Western is now erecting a large grain elevator on the river
at One Hundred and Twentieth street at a cost of about $2,500,000, and the
Burlington will ultimately erect a grain elevator on its property. The incorporators
of the railroad are all officers of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, viz.:
Hale Holden, president; Edward M. Shelton, assistant to the general counsel; H.
E. Byram, vice-president; C. G. Burnham, vice-president in charge of traffic,
and Elmer A. Howard, vice-president in charge of the land and industrial
department.
