Roger,

Are you thinking of the discussion about the spur to the Q owned gravel pit=
(s) NW of Sugar Grove ?=20
The spur went North from the C&I main off of a wye and ran along the west e=
dge of Sugar Grove. It ran straight North until what today is the curve in =
Rte. 47 at Bliss Road intersection. Just west of that it crossed the C.M.&G=
. Then crossed what today is route 47. It paralleled 47 west on the north s=
ide. It continued west to Scott road. The Q owned property west and east of=
 Scott road,along Harter road and on what is today=E2=80=99s WCC campus.=20
The gravel was taken from the Kaneville Esker(basically what had been a str=
eam under a glacier). The Kaneville esker was the longest one in Illinois. =
If you know where to look you can still find small pieces of it. As the wes=
tern properties played out the line was cut back and then taken up.

I plan to someday write a history of many of the Q=E2=80=99s owned pits in =
the greater Aurora,IL area for the BRHS Bulletin. I do have plat maps showi=
ng the Sugar Grove spur, the Q owned parcels of land and so far one photo o=
f a Q steam shovel and work train along side the esker. It is dated 1912. A=
lso have a ICC evaluation report(from the BRHS archive) showing Sugar Grove=
 gravel spread on the C.&I.

Still need to do lots more research to pin down the build and tear out date=
s of the line. Neither the Sugar Grove or Kaneville H.S. were able to help.
