From the May 17, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1917, 100 Years Ago.
"A car of coal going through there sometime during the night sprung a leak somewhere along the line and there was a great quantity of fuel scattered along the railroad tracks through DeKalb.
"The train stopped here and at this place several hundred pounds were lost. Some of the coal was picked up during the early morning hours when there were no railroad men around to stop such procedure."
