There is a lot of information on industries available on the BRHS
web site.
Visit the Members Only area and then visit the Q Rail Network, then
Business & Industry.

Thanks Bud. I knew I could count on you knowing the story

Hi Leo. The peat moss
plant you referred to was Anderson peat moss plant which
is still in operation. The station was called Oliver
and was later changed to Sam in honor of LaCrosse
Conductor Sam Jiardina who was killed in the washout
accident at Oliver on. June 16, 1990. The complete
story of this accident can be found in the Pea Vine
book pages 208 to 212. There was another plant with
loading facilities on the Lass to Garden Plain branch
which was called
Markman. Bud Linroth.
Tom,
In addition to my prior response
you may want to listen to my presentation on
Mendota done at the BRHS annual meet in Sept. at
Mendota. Some but not all industries are covered
in the presentation.
Just log in to member only side of
the website and go to videos.

Were there any industries served by the Q
on the "Around the Horn" route from Savanna
to Denrock to Mendota? In Mendota I see from
a spreadsheet that there was a Del Monte
Foods plant, but my spreadsheet doesn't show
anything along the "Around the Horn" line
itself.
Also interested in any Q served
industries between Mendota and Aurora.
