Rummaging thru my files & came across a confidential accessment of 
several CB&Q lines done for the executive board 7-1962.  This is what 
it said for Oregon (Apr 17 Spring Meet location!)

1960 pop. 3,732   ElevationL 697'   Chicago: 99 miles  Mpls: 356 miles

1961 Station earnings: $409,690 (& that's in "61 dollars!)

"This picturesque town is located in an area devoted to farming and 
the production of glass sand.  Along the scenic Rock Rovr, crossed 
here are located White Pines, Lowden & Blackhark parks.  Principal 
commodities shipped are silica sand, milk products, pianos*, 
agricultural implements and tank truck equipment.  Principal shippers 
are: Manley Sand Co., Carnation Milk & the E.D. Erngre Co.
Oregon is the junction point of the Mount Morris branch, on which 
Kable Printing Co. is located,  Kable Printing, one of the nations 
largest publishers of magazines, carlogues, roto-gravure supplements,
etc is engaged in a large expansion program."

*Last time I was to Oregon the 2-3 story brick piano factory bldg was 
a mall, nicely done.  Was at end of a former spur running N from main.
