Silvestri outlet location?
« on: May 12, 2012, 01:04:46 PM »
Greetings all,

Just had a flashback to my youth when I spent an excruciatingly long afternoon at the Silvestri Outlet store.  Silvestri used to make Christmas ornaments and lights, or at least had them imported from overseas.  Anyway, one day--I'm guessing it was 1984-1986, in the middle of a blazing hot summer day, I was with my mom at this store on the north side.  If memory serves me correctly, there was a freight spur connected to the building or a nearby building.  I'm thinking it was part of the CNW north line around Diversey, but don't know for sure.  Anyone have any info?

Thanks,

Mike Murray

Was it the C&NW North Line, Northwest Line, or Cragin Line that crossed Diversey at the time?
