I've seen it in track plans but never was really able to confirm that it was
ever built.

Yes, there was a wye at Oregon.
Jim Singer's article in Zephyr a few years ago included a copy of a
CB&Q map of Oregon trackage dated 2 July 1928. The wye was formed by
tracks 5 and 6 on the south side of the main and west of the Rock
River. Track 6 was the west side of the wye, and actually turned off
of track 4, as did track 5, which was the east side of the wye.
Tracks 4 and 3 were both sidings parallel to the main south of the
stock pens.
Hope this answers your question.
Regards,
Paul
