Ryan,

If you can get Zephyr Issue 2-03 No 47 from the BRHS, it has a great "Along the 
Burlington Route" article on Oregon, by Jim Singer.  This shows a complete 
track plan of the Oregon city switching spur and the industries serviced by the 
Q.

Thanks for the info Rich, I didn't know it had been served by the Q until I 
tripped over the rails in the field between the road and the Rock River!
