Scott and Nancy,
I have already provided Jack with this industry information in
the format he wanted for the Members Only section of the BRHS web
site. I have provided him with information on more locations than
Chicago. Watch the Members Only section of the web site as he will
be posting it there.
I've attached the Chicago tariff file that I have sent Jack. The
Chicago tariff is a wonderful reference as it provides street
addresses of customers. Only a minority of shipper's guides did.
For those interested, Ted Schnepf of Rails Unlimited sells
reprints of the Chicago Shippers Guide. He has both 1956 and 1967.

Nancy and I are in the process of modelling a warehouse district
switch job on our model railroad. This area will have a job
that runs out of Cicero Yard and go east towards Union Station.
Between Cicero and CUS, there were numerous warehouses. We'd
like to be as accurate as possible (within reason) in naming
these warehouses. The era is the early 1960s. Any help with
names of the warehouses and what they handled would be
greatly appreciated.
On a similar but different note -- we fully understand that the
La Grange EMD plant was not on the "Q". However, our layout is
going to fudge that a bit. We're of the understanding that
there was also a business in the area that took in old
locomotives to be scrapped. Does anyone know the name of that
business?
Thanks to all for your help.
