Re: [CBQ] Morton Park

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



Morton Park is listed in Chicago & Aurora Div. Employee TT #41 in April of 1954 but not in #42 in Sept. There is one  photo of Morton Park in the photo section of members only

On the BRHS web site. The caption notes the stop was removed when the mains were swung north . This change was part of the massive rebuilding of Cicero (Hawthorne) yard to include the hump and all the various yard/trackage changes. 

One day while walking from Cicero station stop back to the general yard office in the middle of Cicero(this was after mgmt forbade dinky crews to stop or slow at the footbridge to drop off crews going to work at the yard office) where Morton Park had been and he stated it was about where the foot bridge was/is located. Many photos of the center of Cicero yard show the footbridge that goes over the three mains between portions of the yard.

I was reading BB 78 and noticed Morton Park as a stop on the timetable on page 5. When was that dropped? I remember riding the train from Western Springs to CUS and back in the 50’s & 60’s but we never stopped there.
