Just thinking out load; the C&I/CB&N was probably not  double tracked due 
to the $s to level out the terrain,all the bridges and curve  reductions that 
would also been involved.
 
Looking at a 1947 ETT there's only 6 thru frts a day(rarely  more than 81 
cars long),one local frt a day and 14 passenger trains between  Flagg and 
Savanna.So the majority of movements are sleek,fast passenger trains  that can 
manuever in and out of sidings pretty quickly w/o a lot of damage to  the 
schedule.
 
This is slightly less volume than I recall in the late 70s  which were 
mostly long heavy frts.
 
Just pure wishful thinking from all those hours sitting  in sidings. I have 
to wonder how much better things would have been just  connecting the 
sidings from Sugar Grove to Shabbona,Flagg to Oregon and  Stratford to Carter ? 
This would have avoided the toughest,most expensive  stretches to double 
track.
 
But then we would just have gone in the "holding pattern"  sooner.
