Rare moves on other Chicgao area street running...
« on: April 25, 2007, 03:43:46 PM »
With Chicago terminal\'s acqusition of the ELK Grove Industrial Park......Central Illinois will have to make some special moves.....

One POSSIBLE move tat could take place is this......they have a huge storage line of about 60 (?) tank cars somewhere in the park.....they will most likely store these cars somewhere on their property downtown.......I\'ve heard rumors that they might be stored somewhere on the track that runs past the Cook County jail over by 26th St. and California Ave.......All of the stored tanks won\'t fit.....but this is one extra piece of track that to my knowledge...they dont use.....

Once I can confirm this...I\'ll let you guys know....

Is it possible they could just rent the track back from Chicago Terminal to store the cars?

Possibly.....but the Central Illinois\' boss wants nothing to do with them after they took them over.....or at least what my friend (an employee at Elk Grove) tells me....
