Tom,
Denrock to Mendota through Walnut.
#88 often went this way. #82 was the "Hot" train, #88 usually
had nothing but tonnage. Unit Potash trains usually went via
Denrock. That is why the re-billing point was set up as Mendota.

Subject: [CBQ] Denrock Sub and around the horn
In 1967/68 when trains ran "around the horn" from Savanna to Chicago
through Denrock, which route would they have taken out of Denrock?
1. Denrock to Earlville through Sterling, Rock Falls and Paw Paw
or
2. Denrock to Mendota through Walnut?
What trains would have run this route from Savanna or Chicago in
1967/68? I know the iron ore/taconite trains from Mpls-StP to Chicago
(and back) went "around the horn", but were there any other scheduled
freights that used the same route in 67/68?

P.S. Hope to meet everyone in Dubuque, but will have to see how my new
job is going...
