Brian,I was hoping to see you get on here.I just read your thread,thanks to wallyworld for the link.I've lived in Marion for 6 years now and have lived in the CR area for about 15.I've been somewhat curious as to the makeup of the MILW in this area for a while.I had the issue that the MILW historical society did on the CR area a while back.Good issue and I'd like to find a replacement as mine has disappeared since I moved into this house(Heck,no telling what's in my basement! :-) ). <br /> I saw the work crews tearing up the track in Marion.Sad to see that happen.Not much exists concerning the MILW's freight operations in the area.I'll have to check out the Marion Museum and see if they have anything on hand concerning tracks and businesses.I had heard that the MILW delivered to Menards at one time and then there is the Kings cement plant in Marion as well(not used by Kings too much anymore). <br /> <br />I work at the Menards in Marion in the mornings until 9am.Drop in sometime. <br /> <br />Bill <br />Marion,Iowa
