The Keokuk branch was very light rail and slow speed and had some very lightly rated bridges.

Thanks for all the responses.

So, would anyone like to hazard a guess concerning the route the car would take to get to Chapin via the Q?

Down to St. Louis, then north up towards Beardstown?

Or north to Burlington and then south from Galesburg?

As Steve points out, it doesn't seem to make much sense when the Wabash had its own branch from Bluffs to Keokuk that would take the cars almost directly to Chapin.

The CB&Q did a lot of interchange traffic with the Wabash at Chapin, Il.  The Wabash main line was Kansas City to Buffalo.  Here is their route map.
