And that is how The Danville Secondary & The Cairo Branch of former NYC/PC was forced to abandon 428 miles of ROW which was destroyed from the melting C/L's of snow/water because of no where to run-off. Had to allow CBQ & IC to build into NYC owned Cgo & Hsbg Coal Co., mines. Fur- ther, MILW had trackage rights because its CTH&SE ROW was in such deplorable shape - again poor drainage.

Also, my step-father mentioned that he saw cars loaded with snow heading west. Boy, did I make a lot of money that winter. 80% of the residents on my block in Western Springs were old people and I was a 15 year old with a shovel. Now I'm approaching that status. :P It was the 1st time in almost 100 years that Lyons Township High School closed. Tim Long __._,_.___ Posted by: pter777opm <pter777opm@yahoo.com> __,_._,___ |
