The Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota Railway built the line from Rockford south=
 to Camp Grant(now the Rockford Airport)Kirkland(Milw Rd interchange)DeKalb=
 and entered Aurora on the leg of the Nature Trail that runs west from Auro=
ra via the Park on Galena Rd.=C2=A0 Once you get out by the Forest Preserve=
 North of Sugar Grove it is easy to confuse with the ROW of the Chicago Aur=
ora and DeKalb.
It became the Chicago Milwaukee and Gary Railway in 1908 which was leased t=
o the Milw Rd. in 1922.=C2=A0 There was a small yard along the north side o=
f the C&I west of the crossing for the branch up the west side of the river=
 to Batavia.

=C2=A0=20
The old CMG/Milw/Q xing on the Q west Batavia line was in place into the mi=
d 70s as the J operated a local to serve Weyerhaeuser that was just west of=
 the diamond. During these years the xing was protected both ways by stop b=
oards,no smash boards.

In the mid to,later 70s the BN/J made a deal and the Irish Mail began servi=
ng Weyerhaeuser by going over on the J wye and the former CMG main. Later a=
 new connection was put in the NW quadrant and the xing and the entire J Au=
rora branch removed.

I'm not 100% sure but I seem to recall there is a photo of the xing in the =
upcoming IRISH Mail article of the BRHS.
