If this is looking west, this photo could be taken near the
Washington Street viaduct in Naperville. Moser Lumber Company was
on the south side of the Q tracks west of Washington street and
had a siding that extended southeast into it from the southern
most track. This construction material would be laying north of
the siding if this is the case. Harold Moser was a prominent
developer of many of the Naperville housing subdivisions starting
in the 1950s.

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
