Sanborn Maps would be another good source of ROW, at least in the developed sections of Galena.

County Atlas books available in local library and historical society local history and genealogy sections also can be very detailed.

Bill,

 

The Q branch more or less followed the south bank of the Galena River and crossed it on the west end of Galena into the downtown business district. Even today if you know where to look you can find clues of where the ROW was located. I would suggest contacting the Galena HS as they have maps,photos,etc.

 

On the frt side one of the most carried products was coal into town.
