Dick,
Thanks for those lists of "Q" trains passing Portage. Throw in the first class passenger trains from the "Q" and then add trains merging/converging there from the IC and CGW and you have some real action!
Later, Dave

The DVD that i will be releasing on the BNSF trains through Savanna was videotaped in October of 2013 and should be ready to ship at the end of this month. I shows all the BNSF trains through Savanna for about 28 hours.
More info on the CB&Q trains running north of Savanna in the mid 1960s courtesy of trip notes taken by the late Bob Malinoski that he copied for me nearly 30 years ago:
