Thanks go out to Leo Phillipp for his presentation at the Lisle Library yesterday for the Lisle Historical Society. The topic of Leo's presentation was of the history and operations of the CBQ on the east end in Lisle and its' neighboring communities along the line. The event was well attended by 65 people and lasted approximately two hours. Of the 65 people, about a dozen BRHS members were in attendance - thanks for supporting your Society! Also, the BRHS Company Store was available with the assistance of Store Clerks Scott & Nancy Stearns, who drove in from Zumbrota, MN for the event! Prior to the presentation, we were greeted at The Museums at Lisle Station Park for a tour of the depot and waycar by Concetta Gibson, Museum Curator to exchange information on operations and the progress being made by the Museum. Another great event for exchanging information and learning more about the CBQ RR! A similar presentation titled 'On the Same Track -- Aurora and the Burlington Railroad' on Thursday, March 23 at 7 pm, at the Aurora Downtown Campus of Waubonsee College. Hope to see you there!
