[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CShaveRR</i> <br /><br />Lumber spur in LaGrange? Can't think of anything on that line between Congress Park and Hinsdale. The transloading facility in what used to be the Amstar sugar plant gets a bunch of corn-syrup tanks and sugar-carrying covered hoppers, but I doubt that the local out of Eola takes care of that. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />All the transloading facility traffic from the plant near congress park in brookfield is handled by BNSF's Western AVenue Yard (which you should include on your model) and I'm pretty sure, but not certain that it then gets shipped to points northwest of chicago. I have one question though... <br /> <br />Why is this stretch called the "racetrack"? I'm unfamiliar with the history and would love to know.
