In the late 1920s daily-expect-Sunday service between Quincy and
Louisiana was provided by mixed trains 91-92. By 1933 the run had been
cut back to Quincy-Pike, still passing through Rockport on a
daily-except-Sunday basis. An 0-6-0 would be highly unusual on this
over-the-road mixed, but a 2-6-0 would be just the ticket.

     Hi All,

     I received this email asking about service to Rockport, IL. I've
     found that
     the Q's line south of Quincy did indeed go through Rockport, on its
     way to a
     junction on the east side of the Mississippi across from Louisiana, MO.
     Looking at satellite images, you can trace what used to be the line.

     Would anybody on the list have any information about this line and
     be able
     to answer Mr. Gay's question about motive power?

     Thanks for the assist.

     Dave

     Subject: request for information

     I am trying to reconstruct information from my youth in the village of
     Rockport, Illinois. Up until approximately the 1930's the town was
     served by
     CB&Q from Quincy. The locomotive was either and 0-6-0 or a
     2-6-0.usually it
     ran with a baggage car and part time with a freight car, passenger
     car, or
     some sort of combination car. Do you have any information on this 
train,
     particularly the locomotive.

     Sincerely, William W. Gay, 115 S. Millbrooke Court, Advance, NC 27006
