   The Peoria and Oquawka was originally authorized to build from Peoria 
to Oquawka, that was changed in 1852 to from Peoria to a point opposite 
from Burlington. It was also authorized to extend said road from Peoria 
to a point on the Indiana border. This extention was completed in 1859 
and subsequently sold at forclosure sale to the TP&W in 1864. The line 
west from Peoria was completed to Burlington via Galesburg in 1855 and 
was operated by the CB&Q, This line was sold by foreclosure sale to CB&Q 
in 1864 and was renamed Peoria and Burlington and then merged into the CB&Q.

So it is a BNSF Heritage road.
