Erik-

Don’t know anything about the location but it looks like the bricks are new Chicago Common, not used  bricks which would show some trace of mortar on them and evidence of edge damage from the demolition process.  It could be on the edge of a lumberyard and the corrugated metal was just untidy groundskeeping….

Hello everyone,
This Bruce Black picture of CB&Q O-5 #5635 was posted on Trainorders.com this morning by Vince Porreca. The caption said it was taken in Naperville March 27, 1952. We were wondering if anyone knew what was along the r.o.w. that was torn down? You see a pile of bricks, corrugated siding and piles of lumber all strung about which adds a lot of visual interest to the shot. So if anyone has any idea what that was our curious minds would like to know :-)

Thanks
Erik Spoonmore
