Thanks for the pictures.  It looks like there might have been a wye  on the Q 
just south of IC bridge and diamond.

 If you follow the Q ROW across the river and through downtown you will come to 
the old ROW of the C&NW which was originally the Galena and Southern Wisconsin. 
 The G&SW was narrow gauge before the C&NW  bought it.  They even had a tunnel 
at the Wisconsin Illinois boarder.

 
Here is a link to an old Illinois Topo map.

It even shows the CNW line.
