I've been in discussion with a cousin who in the early to mid 1940s spent part of his youth growing up on Seeley in Downers Grove. He has a recollection that there was a roundhouse in DG at that time. I'm guessing that there was a turntable but no roundhouse. In a recent article in First And Fastest, it's stated that the first roundhouse in DG was demolished in 1892 or 93, however they do not mention any subsequent roundhouses. I've looked through the relevant Burlington Bulletins and have not seen any definitive mention of a roundhouse in DG during the 1940s. There is plenty of mention of a turntable, which would have been necessary until 1953 or so, when all dinkies began going all to way to Aurora. So I'm wondering if anyone here knows the history of roundhouses in DG. Many thanks, Dave Dave Moorman Downers Grove, Illinois __._,_.___ Posted by: dmoorman4@comcast.net __,_._,___ |
