Leo -
In answer to your question on an O1a going to Denrock, it may have been 4955
of which you were thinking. In Steam on Q (1960), it describes that 4955
took a five-car Illini Club train over from 5600 at Aurora, taking it from
Mendota through Denrock to Clinton and then Savanna and then return to
Aurora. This was the first Q steam excursion during the diesel era. 4955
ended up on the Bevier & Southern in Missouri hauling coal in 1958 and
apparently was scrapped after that.
