The Q had tank cars but they were in company service and were not used for interchange service so they weren't listed in the ORER.

The big one being what do you do with an 80-100 car train while you couple up 20 to 40 cars,make the air,etc w/o blocking the main.

if the Oregon switch engine was there for a month or more, between traks to Cicero for maintenance, what was done about fueling it in Oregon? Did the Q have a contract with a local fuel dealer, or, was fueling it even necessary?

Also, I was looking thru a 1955 ORER and noted that the Q didn't own any tank cars, and that was a bit surprising.
