Shoving North to Suncast-Hubbard Avenue Batavia IL

The BNSF crew is working one of two Suncast plants that it services in Batavia on either side of Kirk Road. BNSF comes up from Aurora on a scenic line that parallels the Fox River to serve Suncast and Proex Carlisle in Batavia, the last two customers left on this historic, former CB&Q line.

 

This spur has an interesting history as aerial photos from 2005 show it in place, Google Streetview images as recently as 2016 show it gone, then it reappears in 2018. At some point the spur was taken up then rebuilt.
