<div>While you were talking about quarries - another question came to mind. (go figure!). &nbsp;My Dad was part owner of Knollwood Gun Club about 2 1/2 miles out of Oswego. &nbsp;Next to the Club entrance off of IL71 was a railroad bed that came from back in the trees (presumably from the Streator line along the river). Way back in the trees between 71 and the river was an old bridge. Once the roadbed hit &nbsp;71 it was not visible across the road (the was a Verona Fathers building there when I was growing up. Does anyone know what this line may have been. There were farm fields there suiting the time I remember. Could this have been quarries at one time?</div><div><br></div><div>Scott<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Jul 3, 2014, at 7:33 PM, "Leo <a href="mailto:qutlx1@aol.com">qutlx1@aol.com</a> [CBQ]" &lt;<a href="mailto:CBQ@yahoogroups.com">CBQ@yahoogroups.com</a>&gt; wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

This spur was headed for the Eskers that existed on what is now the Waubonsee Community College campus.

That's where a glacier dumps it's load of accumulated rock,gravel,etc as it retraces it's route. If you want to see first hand a preserved example go west on Harter road from The WCC campus where &nbsp;it veers east/west where rte 47 turns North. Appprox a mile or so on the left you will come to a perfect example that is now a preserved esker by the Kane County forest preserve.</div><div><br></div><div>The spur to these eskers were for gravel for ballast and probably for the Aurora elevation. After the 1998(?) monsoon of 17 inches that washed out the former Aurora lead and undercut the mainline the gravel was clearly visible.</div><div><br></div><div>Charlie after reviewing the BRHS Bulletin on the elevation there's little doubt in my mind that the post card showing a train of flats headed west on the North Ave bridge is headed for either the pits North of Sugar Grove or West of Montgomery(a whole separate story)</div><div><br></div><div>Leo Phillipp</div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div id="ygrp-mlmsg"><div id="ygrp-msg"><div id="ygrp-text"><div dir="ltr"><div><div id="ecxygrp-mlmsg"><div id="ecxygrp-msg"><div id="ecxygrp-text">
