From the July 26, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1917, 100 years Ago.
"Yesterday forenoon a long freight train rolled through DeKalb (imagine a train going through DeKalb) and an acid car near the middle of the train was seen to be steaming rather alarmingly. Officer Rowe spied the matter and telegraphed to the railroad headquarters concerning the matter.
"The train dispatcher stopped the train in Maple Park (about ten miles away) and the car was given attention. Railroad men of the local yards say that this is the first time they have experienced such a thing as that."
Could Have been a Major Problem. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
