Funny you should ask.  My son Frank went to Western Illinois at Macomb, and 
while there he did the research for a small book he wrote about the MI&L, 
published by the WIU Press, entitled "The Little Road" -- that's how the Macomb 
papers referred to the MI&L.  The Q of course was the big road.  One of the 
duties of the Macomb switcher was to pull the shortline's passenger train the 
last mile or so to the Burlington depot.

Unfortunately the book is now out of print.  You can't have my copy, it's 
autographed by the author!  Ebay, maybe?
