Could it be Iron Springs? Not that it would solve the mystery.

Bud Linroth just sent me an awesome find of a few switch lists from the agent at Rochelle to the Condr on the southbound Wayfreight in October 1928. There's several items that will eventually find there way to a future article on a job called the "roustabout" which would have connected with this southbound Wayfreight. Note everything says "southbound", not eastbound as this dates from the time when the Shabbona to Paw Paw line was in place. Train assignments were much different than all us old Aurora div. guys experienced. I'll cover that in the article.
Here's the time that I need help on. The agent lists cars under the track they are on and what he wants done. One heading is the Iron Sponge track. That got me. Can anyone who's research Rochelle fill me in on the Iron Sponge track ? Bob H.,Rich G.? Leo __._,_.___ Posted by: Richard Townsend <richtownsend@netscape.net> __,_._,___ |
