McCook, a Civil War captain who later directed the Santa Fe Railroad. Quarries opened here in the 1880s, and limestone left by canal and rail. \u003ca title=\"Read about McCook, Illinois\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/McCook,_Illinois\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e reports 249 residents in the 2020 census, the fewest of any municipality in Cook County.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute 66 first ran through Lyons and south toward Summit from 1926 to 1928, then moved to Joliet Road through McCook, where it stayed until the highway was decertified in 1977. Later, quarrying on both sides of the road undermined its foundation, and the guide describes a closed section with a detour along 55th Street and East Avenue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stone is still big business. Wikipedia names portions of Vulcan Materials' McCook Quarry, UOP and the Electro-Motive Diesel locomotive plant among the village's heavy industry, and the guide says General Electric built that plant in 1935. Next door in Bedford Park, Chicago's McCook Reservoir, part of the Deep Tunnel system, is being carved out of an active Vulcan quarry. The \u003ca title=\"Read the MWRD update on the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan\" href=\"https:\/\/mwrd.org\/news\/mwrd-issues-update-tunnel-and-reservoir-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMetropolitan Water Reclamation District\u003c\/a\u003e reports that its first stage opened in 2017 with 3.5 billion gallons of storage and that the finished reservoir is planned to hold 10 billion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roadside still has stories. The guide says the Steak N Egger corner building dates to around 1926 and uses Joliet limestone from the local quarries. A diner opened there in 1929, Snuffy's Grill moved in during 1969 and closed in 2010, and Steak N Egger bought the building in 2012. At 5099 Riverside Avenue stands a \"Welcome to Fabulous McCook\" neon sign modeled on the Las Vegas original and topped with a U.S. 66 shield. Wikipedia adds that the Outlaws Motorcycle Club was founded in McCook in 1935.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep rolling along Route 66 with our women's tee for \u003ca title=\"Shop the Lyons, Illinois women's Route 66 tee\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heartofthemotherroad.com\/products\/womens-triblend-tee-lyons-il-gateway-to-the-west\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLyons\u003c\/a\u003e to the east, plus our unisex tees for \u003ca title=\"Shop the Countryside, Illinois unisex Route 66 Everytown tee\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heartofthemotherroad.com\/products\/retro-route-66-unisex-jersey-tee-countryside-il-chicagos-western-gateway\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCountryside\u003c\/a\u003e to the west and \u003ca title=\"Shop the Lemont, Illinois unisex Route 66 Everytown tee\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heartofthemotherroad.com\/products\/retro-route-66-unisex-jersey-tee-lemont-il-town-made-of-marble\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLemont\u003c\/a\u003e, where the original 1926 to 1928 alignment ran.
