Per requests from Dave Hamilton, Conrad Cheatham & Ken Martin, here's the data 
for the following areas they requested.
 
Typical of such 'railroad industry books', the authoring RR indicates whether 
the industry is "on-line" (A), reached on another RR's line via reciprocal 
switching or a "terminal" railroad (B), served by a Team Track (C) or at a 
non-agency station where in effect the siding is a 'Team Track' & freight is 
pre-paid (D).  I will list what it is the company did when the name does not 
indicate such (i.e. Dubuque Star Brewery is a brewery!) 

 

 Note: stock pens NOT listed if CB&Q owned, only large commercial ones.
