I have a bit of information about the rail yards from a West Burlington historical document forwarded to me by the Burlington Public Library but would be very interested in anything you might have. If you have a book that is not too large, I will scan it and return the book to you. I am slowly finding that West Burlington was at one time a major railroad manufacturing center.

My nephew used to work at Westinghouse so I assume that is close to the old yards.

Thanks for your reply and I look forward to learning more.
