Progress Report 08.09.10

Progress continues on the CRI&P. 

Engineering is at Joliet working out the final track alignment and agreements with industries. 

Left to right starting with the cork is the siding, main, storage track (6 to 7 car capacity)

White paper is American Can Co.  O.L. King & Sons in the back ground. 

Walthers Superior Paper Mill  to the left.  Receiving for American Can in the rear of the building.

I'm looking at placing the Lumber Mill between the rear American Can lead (off the main) and track curving toward the foreground for the Superior Paper Mill.

CB&Q Connection in Joliet.  Single track crossing. 








Work crews have re-focused their attention on the industrial trackage back in Davenport and Rock Island.  All industrial trackage in Davenport minus any future additions behind the yard throat has been installed.  Crews then moved further up the line to Rock Island.  Crews are waiting on some more pre-fab turnouts to arrive to complete the Rock Island trackage.  While waiting, crews will most likely move up the line to Bureau and Stockdale to complete industrial trackage in both of these locations.
