I would think the Ordinance Plant @ Proving Grounds (N of Savannah, 
IL) would also be a good bet.  They published a history book there 
when the place closed a few yrs ago but no coverage of the rail ops 
much less a map but there was a lot of Q RR action there at one time. 
I plan to spend some time there over Xmas break doing research - any 
one on this list have contacts or info for the facility?  (now an 
industrial park).  Camp Grant near Rockford was also served by the Q 
(and is now an industrial park) but was training, not munitions mfg.
The Army historically used what by many standards would be considered 
outdated rolling stock (Navy & Air Force too for that matter).  
However some was in captive service so not worn out as much as one 
might think considering their age.
