Bob,

I don't want to say too much as it will diminish the future article. First off let me say I don't have my notes or the article in front of me. General Mills bought the plant from Zenith (I think) around 1957 and started remodeling what became known as the " old wore house( warehouse), that gives you some inclination what was most often on the minds,of trains crews and the subject of talk on an ongoing basis on most jobs ! The plant expanded multiple times over the years.

Primarily the plant produces cereals( Cheerios,etc) and hamburger helper,etc. how do I know ? You'll need to read the article when published. It involves the recoup and $2 a bag.

A question for Leo or Gerald Edgar. Was looking at the article on the West Chicago branch in an old PM issue. General Mills was a large, diversified company, and I wondered what they made at the W. Chicago plant (loads in and out), and when the plant began operation. Thanks!
