[CBQ] IL Line south from Quincy

["Dave Lotz" <Dave_Lotz@bellsouth.net>]

Hi All,

I received this email asking about service to Rockport, IL.  I've found that
the Q's line south of Quincy did indeed go through Rockport, on its way to a
junction on the east side of the Mississippi across from Louisiana, MO.
Looking at satellite images, you can trace what used to be the line.

Would anybody on the list have any information about this line and be able
to answer Mr. Gay's question about motive power?

Thanks for the assist.

Dave

Subject: request for information

I am trying to reconstruct information from my youth in the village of
Rockport, Illinois. Up until approximately the 1930's the town was served by
CB&Q from Quincy.  The locomotive was either and 0-6-0 or a 2-6-0.usually it
ran with a baggage car and part  time with a freight car, passenger car, or
some sort of combination car.  Do you  have any information on this train,
particularly the locomotive.



Sincerely, William W. Gay,  115 S. Millbrooke Court, Advance, NC 27006
