Tie plate |
Description: |
This tie plate is on an abandoned stretch of what was the old CB&Q connection to the C&NW at Turner, now West Chicago. This track follows the alignment of the original Aurora Branch from Hill Yard in Aurora to the end of track about 12 miles north. There is an additional mile or so that exists in bits and pieces up to a block or two short of the UP today. |

Just 185 heading east |
Description: |
Like some of my earliest photos, what else do we have but a shovel nose heading back east from Fairview, passing the Pepperidge Farm siding. There is always some... interesting graffiti to be seen. |
