Re: [CBQ] Request for Aurora-Chicago material

["Ken Martin" <kmartin537@surewest.net>]

Charlie,

I don’t have any depot photos but do have a photo of engine 58 taken by Shaw with an address in Chicago.

Below is a small copy of it I have a larger copy that shows more. No date butI suspect 1860’s.

If you are doing a Bulletin article I can let you use it.

All-

 

I have been working on documenting the history of the Aurora-Chicago line of the CB&Q dating from the inauguration of the Aurora Branch Railroad up to the BN merger.  .   I’ve uncovered a great deal of information about the Aurora-Chicago line (including some surprises!!) but because of the Chicago Fire, the CB&Q Headquarters Fire, and who knows why there seems to be a lack of photographic coverage of the earlier days of the CB&Q in the Chicago Area!!!

 

      ANY previously unpublished photos pre-1900 on the Aurora-Chicago line of locomotives, trains, and ROW.    T

Please contact me off-list if you have any pictures or know of anyone that might have such early photos

Thank you,

Charlie Vlk
