Just got the 2 paragraphs below forwarded to me from Bob Weber who got it on 
CGW Yahoo list.  Anyone @ that NRHS mtg that can add to this excerpt?  
Responses to this post by CGW fans included wondering if anyone had a copy of 
the various RR's detour routings as one poster recalled seeing one on the wall 
@ M&StL hdq in Twin Cities.  I happen to have a set of Q routings (prints in 
book form) showing all possible system-wide alternate routes needed due to 
derailments, floods, etc.  The fact the Q was taking CGW from Portage to 
Stockton & beyond tells me it may have been due to flooding (or loss of Milw/Q 
crossing) in the Savanna, IL area as normally Q & Milw used each other's line 
between Chi & Twin Cities as needed.   Anyone have further info?   Gerald
 
 
. . . I was in attendance for the October meeting of the NW Illinois Chapter 
NRHS
and the story of a Q train detouring on the CGW was told. The train was routed 
from
Portage to Stockton . . . it was the eastbound combined Empire Builder and one 
of the
Zephyrs. Five motors were on the point, all Q Es . . . eighteen cars with a 
number of
domes. 
 
  Winston (note: tunnel on CGW in NW Illinois) had ventilation system about 
midway, correct? 
All that diesel exhaust, 18 passenger cars, wonder how smelly the tunnel ride 
would get for passengers?....
