I road the Q St. Paul o Chicago and back from 1948 thru 1394. Trains always stopped at East Dubuque and Q bused it across river to DBQ. AMTRAK crossed river on IC from mid 709's. I road train of 3 RDC's. Tunnel in East Dubuque west to east has a very sharp right turn. e From: "dhartman@mchsi.com"

It was a quick look as I went by, but it definitely seemed a passenger depot. And it looked fully restored. And in large letters in stone in the middle is "The Burlington." The Q didn't have passenger service to the Iowa side, did it?

Driving by, I noticed a very good looking (and preserved) old brick depot downtown on the waterfront along the active tracks (just north of the Rt 20 bridge and south of the RR river bridge). What surprised me was the name, in stone in big letters: "The Burlington". I didn't think the Q had much, if anything, on the west side of the river. Anyone know anything about this? The old (dilapidated) East Dubuque CBQ station seems to still be there (just north of Rt 20). But I thought Dubuque itself was (mostly) Illinois Central, so that nice depot threw me.
