According to Charlie, the Lisle and Hinsdale stations were originally built on
the north side of the tracks, so I was asking if he knew of the reason for deviating
from the norm.

Rupert,
I don't understand your question. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and
to my knowledge, all of the Q stations between Chicago and Aurora are on the
south side of the tracks including Lisle, Hinsdale and West Hinsdale. Most were
old stations when I was born in the early 1940s. Most of them had shelters on
the north side, but the station was and is on the south side of the
tracks.

Is there anything about Lisle and Hinsdale that prevented the stations being
built on the south side or is there any indication as to why they were on
the north side of the tracks? Would the location of the station relate to
whether the bulk of the local population was living on the north or south
sides of the track, road access, land availability or some other reason?
