Dustin: I have some data for you. Beginning in the early 1950s and up
until the summer of 1954, the Q ran "cow and calf" TR-2s on the way
freights to Streator and to Barstow. They may have run them to Rock
Falls as well. The railroad began using GP-7s most of time once they were
delivered in 1952 and 1953. I believe that the Rock Falls switcher was
usually an NW-2. I am pretty sure that the GP-7 was standard during the
1960s. Karl, Leo and some of the guys who worked that line might be able
to tell us more.
