I’ve heard in recent years that access to the Jct. at McCook illinois has been cut off. Anyone been there recently? Tried to go there? Whats the story? ~Thanks, U33B
Haven’t been there, except in the line of duty over IHB rails. I know that access from the east has long been restricted, and really don’t know of any other way to get there (maybe from the north, along IHB).
I checked out GoogleEarth images and there appears to be an industrial road servicing the warehouses along the BNSF and Sanitary canal to the southwest of the junction that leads right up to the sw quadrant…but i dont know if its gated or not. Its one of the few chicago area diamonds i’ve yet to visit (except onece when i was 6 or 7 with my dad, had a bunch of MKT U-Boats stored there too if i remember correctly). Id love to swing in there even for a quick pic and go sort of thing.
This seems to say you can’t go there-
