Re: [CBQ] Flagg Center to Savanna Mainline

["brad slaney" <bradslaney@viawestdu.net>]

This is purely conjecture but I expect because of the roller coaster terrain 
west of Oregon and the existence, at the time, of the alternate line from 
Mendota to Denrock.

  List,

  This may have been discussed before, but I don't recall it. I'm curious about 
the decision the Q made not to double track the Minneapolis mainline on the C&I 
from Flagg Center, IL to Savanna, IL. This was (and remains) an awfully busy 
stretch of track for a single main. I know this was one of the earliest 
installations of CTC in the US, but I'm interested as to why this stretch was 
never double tracked.

  Thanks,

  Rich
