RE: [CBQ] 1939 Aerial Photo of the Downers Grove Yard

Jerry-

Thanks….your instructions worked very well.

I’ve downloaded everything from CUS to Aurora and up to West Chicago.  Too bad the resolution isn’t anywhere as sharp as the originals must be, but they’re certainly better than nothing.

Apparently by 1938-9 the second express track (running west off the north main) was removed as I can’t see any hint of it.  The first track running east off the north main is in the photos as is what looks to be the freight house.

Charlie and List: It seems the link changed things. OK, When page opens, click "Viewer", a new page opens, You will see "Find", click and select "Find County", select a county, zoom in, and then look around for the Burlington tracks on the map. Select a "red" square near the area you are looking for and click it. A box will come up, select a image format, click, and a photo will come up. Finally, put on a fresh pot of coffee. Regards..Jerry Albin
