Western Springs Memories

Crossing Gates (About 1957)

Added by June Hofmann on 11/30/1999

Our boys would make two round trips across the tracks on Central Ave. each day to go to Spring Rock Park. Being worried about a train hitting one of our children, I counted all the kids each day for a week coming and going across the tracks. I contacted an executive at the Burlington Railroad and sent him the survey. Two weeks later gates were installed. When I see the gates I think of our young sons and smile. Western Springs was a wonderful place to raise a family, the park program, pool and other activities were ideal.
