And to add a bit more "modern" history. Sometime in the early 70s the La Salle switch engine 
Was abolished. So the way freight from Mendota performed the La Salle switching. This
Road crew,(Condr for a long time was DD (double deck) Smith),received a arbitrary additional 
Payment of a minimum one hour or actual time spent switching in yard limits at La Salle each day.
Needless to say this job went high on the seniority roster.
Today the line is Illinois Railway.

To add to Leo's the IVN was cut back Walnut to Kasbeer 12/13/39 and Zearing to Kasbeer 3/25/54 so the only operation was La Salle to Zearing.
EET No.3 10/29/61 shows office at La Salle 8AM-5 PM Spring Valley 7 AM-4PM
                       &n bsp;     NYC Crossing(Ladd and NYC Jct. no office) 7AM-3PM and 6PM-2 AM
EET No.12 4/24/66 shows LaSalle 7AM-4PM  Spring Valley 7AM-11:01AM  Zearing is shown continuous in both
No Scheduled service La Salle to Zearing in either  Trains 85 and 86 operated into La Salle from Montgomery
The only Data sheets I have shows a Local Train Mendota 7:30 AM to Kewanee 11:30 and return with side trip daily Zearing to La Salle.  And then you would have the NYC operating NYC Jct to Zearing and they used the overhead bridge and the Main Line Crossovers to wye the power to go home.

W/o benefit of my ETTs, my memory says the 
IV & N way freight started out of Streator,turned at Zearing after 
Connections with thru trains and headed back to Dtreator
Red  Lynch was the long time Condr. He told me
The job worked 16 hours everyday right up nail the 
It was abolished, my understanding is a lot of this time
Was spent waiting at La Salle and/or Zearing waiting on connections
Rip Repetto used to talk about coal and bananas
coming off the IC at La Salle. 

After the IV & N way freight came off and maybe even 
Before a freight from Galesburg eastbound made a
a side trip to Streator or La Salle.

At some point a job out of Mendota made a round trip
To La Salle.

Of course back in the day there were a lot more
Movements

I found a neat photo in the NIU Digital Library W.W. Embree collection taken at Zearing in 1949 showing a wayfreight heading eastward out of the south yard onto the IV&N (I'm attempting to include the link in this message).  BTW - the station is misattributed as a CGW station about which I have notified the library.

So, this raises the question -- what were Q operations like on the west end of the IV&N in the 1960's?  Where did trains originate and terminate on the west end of the line?  If trains did not originate and terminate at Zearing, where did they?
