Paul,
        Ottawa and LaSalle/Peru offer some interesting themes.  Ottawa was not
so much an interchange as a couple of large industrial complexes
switched on joint CB&Q/RI trackage at Ottawa Silica and Libbey Owens
Ford (LOF) glass company.  Both railroads were known to pull several
thousand cars a year out of both places.  LaSalle/Peru is a slightly
lesser Q branch line, but with some good traffic both with local
industries and the Zearing/Streator line.  L/P could also involve the
IC, NYC, Milw, and LS&BC.
        If any of this interests you, especially Ottawa, let me know.  I
currently have a layout based on the Q branch from Montgomery to
Streator in operation and focus heavily on Ottawa.
