New Aurora Terminal

Our friend Ray Piesciuk has been scanning CA&E bulkhead advertising cards (the ones hung in the bulkhead windows between the cars' smoking and main compartments) from the Julie Johnson collection. A few duplicates have been passed along to us so that we can either use them in the cars or easily get them copied. The batch he's working on currently seem to mostly be from 1939-1940. These have now been posted in a special section on the fascinating www.irm-cta.org archive site Ray and Julie manage.

It is unfortunate that we lost the Aurora Terminal, and even the last mile of the Aurora Branch, with renovations of the town based on the riverboat casino gambling craze in the early 1990s. One day, it was there, then one day, it was gone. O. Anderson
