Tom-

Welcome!!

I grew up in Brookfield and graduated from St. John’s MA in 1963.    

Do you have any depot photos?   I am researching the Aurora-Chicago line and have come up with a ton of new information about its history but still need photos of Canal & 16^th, Blue Island Avenue, Western Avenue, CC&IC Crossing, Douglas Park, Millard/Sheed Park/Lawndale, Crawford, Cicero, Hawthorne, Morton Park, Clyde, Cheviot, and original stations at Lyons, Riverside,  Lavergne, West Lyons, Stone Avenue, Stough, Burlington Heights, and Lund’s / Eola and Indiana Avenue on the SCAL.  Looking for locations of the “Signal Cabins” from Manual Block days, photos of Freight Stations on the line and pre-1920 towers and photos of the Q Track Elevation work in Chicago.  .   Any non-published pre-1900 photos of trains on the line would be great as well (especially IC and other “foreign roads” running on trackage rights!).  Pre-1969 alignment charts would also be helpful.

Along similar lines has anyone researched the Engineering Photos in the Valuation Files in the Federal Archives?
