Re: [CBQ] Photo: CB&Q Aurora Shops In 1880s-commercial post

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

Cbq IO group members. If you like the photo that Bob posted of the Aurora shops, it and many more,along with details on the shops founding and early operation are in Burlington Route Historical Society Bulletin #58- Aurora and it’s shops 1849-1899.

And if you still want to learn more about the shops  BRHS Bulletin #61 covers the shops from 1900-1974  its 114 pages which includes considerable material from the BRHS archives.

Both are available at the BRHS company store. Just go to Burlingtonroute.org, then click on company store.
