[CBQ] Re: Railroad Fact

["Meredith Johnston" <mjohn@ncn.net>]

Sam:

I believe the Osceola "lake" called "Grade Lake" was created by the Des Moines, 
Osceola & Southern. The ROW was on the fill that created the lake. The DMO&S 
became the Des Moines & Kansas City then part of the Keokuk and Western and 
finally part of the Q so I guess it qualifies as a Q pond.

Another former Q pond/lake/whatever is located on the NW edge of Promise City 
just to the north of IA Hwy.2. Promise City is on the former MI&N/K&W/CB&Q line 
in eastern Wayne County, IA. My mother and I used to fish there back in the 
50s.
