[CBQ] Need info. On Hazelhurst ,IL gravel pit owned by the Q

["Leo Phillipp via Groups.Io" <qutlx1=aol.com@groups.io>]

Working on a distant future article about the Qs constant search for gravel 
deposits on 
The Aurora Division starting in the 1860s until well into the 1920s for the 
BRHS Bulletin. I know there was a Q owned pit just NE. Of Hazelhurst and have a 
plat map documenting  the Qs ownership. Does anyone have photos, track diagrams 
or a plat map showing the spur as mine does not ? 

The bulk of the article will document Q ownership,operations  and Spurs at 
Montgomery (several distinct and separate sites) Sugar Grove, Oswego, 
Yorkville, Sheridan,etc. the article will document the great distances the Q 
went away from mainlines and branches to reach deposits.

Interestingly due to their transitory nature the pits and spurs are not 
mentioned in ETTs and were often located, worked until played out or nearly so 
and then sold.

Thanks,
Leo Phillipp
