General Discussion / Kingsbury Branch - Old Industry - Duraco
« on: January 05, 2010, 12:28:18 AM »
Hello all,
In my map notes from 1998 I drew an industry called \"Duraco\" located at the intersection of North and Kingsbury. If you look at Tom M.\'s \"Midwest Zinc, 1998\" photo you will see the spur to this industry, but the building has been razed. So it seems that at one time this was rail served. Also I noted that Midwest Zinc was \"huge and loud\" but there were no cars spotted at the time.
A google search uncovered a couple of items...Duraco made adhesive coatings and eventually sold the company. Check out the following links...
