After doing some searching on Google for "Carthage Junction, IL" (with and 
without the quotes), it looks like that Carthage Jct, IL 
was another name for Illinois Jct, the place that the Carthage line came off of 
the CB&Q across the river from Burlington, IA.

Take a look at http://itouchmap.com/?d=1812517&s=IL&f=locale

Also, from:

http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA665&lpg=PA397&dq=Carthage%20Junction%2C%20IL&sig=AB-dsVP1w7DHpTUChlAtK4wE0c8&ei=8hxNTPfVOZX9nQeKpcHYCw&ct=result&id=rxNFAAAAYAAJ&ots=-6jbd5pRcn&output=text

page 665:

East Bur'lington, or Car'thage Junc'tion, a station in Henderson co., ILL., on 
the Mississippi River, opposite Burlington, Iowa. 
Here the Chicago, Burlington A Quincy Railroad connects with its Carthage A 
Quincy Branch and with a branch of the Toledo, Peoria A 
Warsaw Railroad. A railway-bridge here crosses tho Mississippi.
