    Can anyone tell me where I can find the Cowan, Pinnacle yard in Chicago? It's not the South Holland Il they advertise. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

    Phone 773 788 9100

    Web site for the Pinnacle / Cowan company -- http://www.reloadtrans.com/

    But I have no clue if that's what you want or not.

    Ya, that's a small office they use. I never had a company have a yard as a big secret. Ahahaha I'm just blown away. Can't wait to I find the yard so I can see what the big secret is. Lol. Thank you Bucky for your help.

    The map that popped shows a big rail yard just down the street. Let me see if I can find that map again and give you the rail yard's info.

    The only street that enters the adjoining rail yard is South Central Ave.

    If you were to GPS :

    Carr Lumber & Manufacturing
    6601 South Central Avenue
    Chicago, IL 60638


    And keep going past the Carr Lumber facility, you will enter the rail yard near Cowan / Pinnacle.

    As you know, I'm guessing here, but...

    Another entrance is at
    CSX

    CSX Bedford Park Terminal
    7000 West 71st Street, Bedford Park, IL 60638

    (904) 359-3200

    It's part of the same very large rail yard. Google doesn't show what the yard is named though.

    Any help at all Bucky I'm grateful. I drove through that yard last night. Didn't see a. Cowan or pinnacle truck any place. Kinda crazy since the office is right there.

    I worked for a company that hauled shingles from IKO. Their yard was at the IKO plant, at 65th and Central. I don't recall any rail yard entrances around there, in fact, Central ended at 65th.
