Re: [CBQ] Q Connection Sale

Tom:

The only other move I can think of is some iron ore (in regular hopper cars) moved out of the Ostrander, MN area to the St. Louis area via CGW-CBQ.  This was not a high quality ore and the moves were irregular at best.  I do not where the junction was (Dubuque or Galena Jct.).  These could have lasted until the CGW/CNW merger and then it would have moved CNW direct.  The mines closed finally in about 1970.

Dundee had several terminals in the Midwest and IIRC one was at Carol Stream IL on the CGW.  The routing was CBQ-East Dubuque-CGW.  The loaded cars would move via Quincy/Galesburg/Savanna up to E Dubuque where they were set out for the eastbound move via CGW.

Fred,

This is actually great for me since I have an excuse now for a couple of these cars. I'm not complaining, but that seems a pretty roundabout routing vs. sen ding the cars to Chicago and then out to Carol Stream (which is pretty close to Napierville). My guess is that this was the easiest way to get the cars quickly to the CGW vs. interchanging in Chicago. Just one interchange in East Dubuque vs. perhaps multiples in Chicago. Can anyone elaborate on this and whether there was any other regular traffic for the CGW that might have also followed the same routing to East Dubuque?
