The Archives Summer Campaign from 2019 included a CD of the 1918 ICC Valuation Summaries from Chicago to Aurora and Included Montgomery. It also included the Aurora to West Chicago line. The Valuation Summaries show the following stockyards at that time:
Clyde 111’ by 200’ built in 1917 16 pens
Greggs (now Westmont) 20’ x 56’ 3 pens
Lisle 4 pens
Naperville 6 pens
By the time the 1936 Shippers Guide was published, the following changes were made:
Clyde Still 16 pens, capacity of 16 cars
Greggs (now Westmont) No longer listed
Lisle 2 pens, capacity of 2 cars
Naperville 2 pens, capacity of 2 cars
As a shameless plug, the CD of the 1918 ICC Valuation Summaries is still available from the BRHS Archives. You can contact us through the BRHS website.
