Gerald,
There was an oddball trip, I think in 1940, that went
from CUS to Streator, then via La Salle to Zearing,
on to Denrock, then Rock Falls and back to Earlville.
Used a R4/R5 for that leg of the trip and then some
unidentified passenger power from Earlville back to CUS.
Think it took about 24 hours. My father rode it.
With the ATC requirement it was probably the 2151
although there might have been more engines so equipped
at that time.

Here's a site with a seemingly well documented story of the the 3 Q
steam locos, especially from the standpoint of Dick Jensen's
ownership of the last 2. Any of our Chicago mbrs aware of any
inaccuracies or omissions?
http://www.steamlocomotive.com/union/jensen.html
Purely nit-picking, they mention the # of Q steam locos used in fan
trip service but believe they are unaware that 1st trip was not in
50's but at least as early as 1937 when Aeolus (in shroud) was used
for trip from Chi to W. Burl to Galesburg & back! I have a full set
of handouts from the trip from estate of a man who rode it & see
there is even a menu from the trip on eBay right now. Gerald
