Actually Savanna is close as the CGW turned east at the CB&Q station Galena
and passed through the Winston tunnel. The Newport/St Paul area is another
location.

Jim-
The CB&Q and CGW did not see each other in Savanna.... the Milwaukee Road
had a large yard adjacent to the Q yards there though.
You are probably thinking about East Dubuque, where the Q and IC shared
trackage rights and CGW joined them at Galena... and took
the IC over the bridge at East Dubuque to Dubuque.
MR had an article about the point where the IC split off from the Q, went
into a curved tunnel bored through the palisades to cross the
Q at a right angle and crossed the river on fixed spans and a swing bridge.
I am including that area in my N Scale railroad and Jeff Wilson had articles
in MR about his HO railroad that modeled the point (Portage)
where the IC joined the Q (or rather their lines paralled, as the IC built
along the river to East Dubuque first).

Subject: [CBQ] help with a layout location
Please feel free to contact me off list. I am planning on a new HO
layout and had been planning on modeling the CBQ/CGW lines near
Savanna, Il. However with a 11' x 20'room , I don't think I have
enough room to do what I was planning without too many compromises. My
era would be mid to late the 1960's and I would still like to base a
layout on CB&Q and CGW - mostly freight operations. My question is
there other locations where these two railroads operated that would be
worth considering?
Jim
