Ken,

 

Would you consider getting that scanned, or allowing me to borrow it to have it scanned?

I have the Rock Island track map for Oskaloosa.  It also shows the former Burlington Lines that went to the M&StL.  An interesting comment is "Sold to the M. & St. L. R. R. in 1934 (per Mr. Webster of the C. B. & Q. R. R. 7-28-1943".  It also shows the location of the Burlington 2 stall roundhouse and turntable.  The city shops are where the roundhouse was and if you drive north on C Street behind the shops, you drive over the turntable.  It also shows 2279.5' of Gauntlet Track Removed.  This would have been the line that went to Tracy and was alongside the Rock Island in the city.  The portion in the city is now a bike trail..  Oskaloosa still has a Burlington Street.
