Mike Spoor's Color Guide has photos of CB&Q flat cars with JI Case 
construction tractors and with IH farm implements (planter/cultavator 
of some kind). 

I was wondering who were all of the farm equipment manufactures that 
shipped product on the CB&Q and from what locations. Did Case ship on 
the Q only out of Burlington, IA? Were the IH implemnts from 
Chicagoland plants or from the Canton, IL plant? Did John Deere, 
Minneapolis-Moline, Massey-Ferguson, Ford, Oliver, New Holland, etc., 
ship on the CB&Q ? 

I was also wondering who were all of the construction equipment 
manufactures that shipped their product on the CB&Q and from where. 
Caterpillar at Montgomery, IL has been mentioned in previous posts; 
did they also ship on the Q out of Peroria, IL or other locations? 
Any other construction equipment firms ship product on CB&Q ?

Thanks in advance. Answers to the above questions will aid in my 
selection of die-cast farm & construction models for use as 
prototypical CB&Q flatcar loads.
