Keith, 
The Hoopole, Yorktown, and Tampico Railroad connected with the CB&Q at Tampico. 
 The website link you provided has an abundant amount of information and photos 
on "The Dummy" as it was called.  I have done some limited research on this 
railroad and it's interaction with the Q at Tampico.

Subject: [CBQ] The Pumpkin Vine

  
Gerald was pushing the Pea Vine. Anyone heard of the Pumpkin Vine? I was 
speaking with my sister in law who told me that her grandfather or great 
grandfather worked for a railroad called the Hoophole. I think she meant the 
Hooppole which connected the CB&Q to the C&RI from Hooppole, IL to Walnut 
Junction. They apparently used CB&Q equipment as it was returned to them when 
the railroad closed down in 1953. Use the link for a nostalgic trip. Read the 
history and see the photo section. Lots of photos.
