Charlie,
Salt Creek is probably correct. Salt Creek starts somewhere up near Woodale and flows down through Oakbrook, crosses under York Road, just north of Hinsdale at the Graue Mill, crosses the Trip State toll road just east of there, flows through Bemis Woods and finally empties into the Des Plaines River inLyons near 1st Avenue and Route 34.So, in the early days, Salt Creek could have been a station anywhere from Hinsdale area to Lyons.

All- Whoops!!! Looks like I should have read the clip about milk first…. It not only shows Bushville (!!!) as a place between Downer’s Grove and Hinsdale, but also shows Hazel Glen and a new one…Salt Creek…being the biggest shipper Aurora-Chicago on the 2 year old line! Now it may be an error and should read Lyons (DesPlaines River) but since this is the first time Salt Creek was mentioned prior to Grossdale being subdivided I tend to think it is accurate. Interestingly, Naperville and Lyons (Riverside) were original depots on the 1864 “Chicago Branch” and certainly would have shipped milk (they did in the later report) but they are omitted in this article. Good stuff!!! Charlie |
