Roger,

At the time the line was built up the East side of the river Galena was the main
commercial city in that part of Illinois.
Doubt they would have been any interchange at Galena.

Hi All,

Galena had three railroads, the CNW, IC and Q. After the CNW standard gauged its line, all three had joint tracks and interchanges. Most interchange would be between the Q and CNW.
