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.
