Paul,
I did take a look at the plan, but know very little about that part of the
system, with what I do know basically being the freight yard at Savanna (which
I had considered modelling at one time). There's lots in the list archive on
Oregon, but someone else will have to tell you how to access that. As a track
plan, it looks like you've worked an admirable amount of operation into the
available area. I can't tell you much more than that.

Subject: [CBQ] Re:C&I Sub in N-scale
Dear Folks:
BUMP!!
OK. So I will take your stunned silence about this topic as indicating that
my track plan is so outstanding it defies comment. NOT!
Alternatively, y'all were so absorbed watching the Giants take-down the Pats
on Sunday that you entirely forgot you were going to respond to it! Could be?
Or, how about if I ask some specific questions and you can fill in some
details for me?
Thanks in advance!
1. Did the CBQ and CGW inter-change freight at Galena Jct during the late
50's or early 60's? If so, what types of freight, and in what volume?
2. How much what types of freight did the CBQ and the CMSt.P&P exchange at
Savanna during that time period?
3. For my N-Scale layout at Savanna, I have eliminated the freight yard, but
tried to retain the interchange trackage in about the correct juxtaposition (I
hope). What could I do differently that would improve the interchange at
Savanna?
4. What kinds of industries would've been served in Oregon during the
50't-early-60's? Is it fair to put a small yard south of the mains in Oregon?
Any industries there?
5. Anyone got any photos of Oregon town or structures during that period they
could share or point me to?
6. What industries (if any) were there on the Rockford branch north of Flag
Center during the 50's-early-60's? Grain elevators, cattle loading?
7. How frequently did CBQ & CN&W interchange traffic at Rochelle? What types
of traffic and volumes were there? Also, how frequently did CN&W run trains
over the Rochelle to Rockford lines? What were the compositions & sizes of
those trains? I am being to ambitious to worry about this?
