Man I saw a book at the used bookstore a few months back and I’ll never remember the title, but it was about the stockyards in Chicago and the history of them and how dependent they were on the rail. Lots
of neat info and really cool pictures. I set it down to think about, came back and it was gone. It looked really interesting I wish I would have just held onto it, if nothing else to send it up to you. But yea man stuff like that is really interesting I totally agree.

My mother grew up in the the neighborhood known as "Back of the Yards". She said at the time they were on the end of the street closest to and from the 2nd story porch she could see the cattle waiting to be cheeseburgers. Also said if the breeze was right it could be along smelly night.wore out, JoeyJunk, Panhandle flash and 5 others Thank this.

My old east coast dispatcher Wes Kasper passed away this morning.
