The official word from BJRY is that they are taking over Ottumwa Yard but no
official date as of yet. I spoke with Mr. Prat at BJRY.

That is correct except the engine facilities just north of the
Basket Co. in a red corrugated metal barn like building I have pictures and a
short video of # 701 C415. The load U. S. Gypsum board in a little red
building next to that, which is trucked down by Hook Grain. By the way the old
Rock Island engine house that was there is now gone. It was behind the new
engine facilities. BJRY also has a old Texeco Alco S2 or S4 down by the
Rutheford potato factory that's never been used. BJRY also switches Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa. The BJRY ownes from the flint river (creek) to the Burlington
Yard.

Going on memory here so watch out...
Late in the game for the RI (spring of 79 comes to mind), they dumped a
bunch of covered hoppers off a bridge near Mediapolis. Took out the
bridge and severed the line. BN took over the traffic out of Burlington
(they already handled most of the switching anyway).
After bankruptcy, the BJRY was formed and purchased the line from the
bridge to the BN yard in Burlington from the Trustee. They had to fight
BN for the line because BN said since they were operating it, it was
thiers.
Last time I was in Burlington, there were two BJRY C415s in Mt. Hood
Dinner train colors parked by the Burlington Basket building. Dave Lotz
can correct me on this, but I think that is where the RI locomotive
facilities were.
Somewhere past the Case plant was a 44 tonner.
