How did the RI get to Naplatte? The only trackage that I have seen is what I assumed to be the ex-Q line currently operated by Illinois RailNet. Did the Q and RI share the same tracks? Mike Matalis D

This was definitely not the CA&E, it was a stand alone railway that didn't last too long, and was abandoned in 1923. Northern Illinois was home to a number of interurbans other than the CA&E and the

Just curious, did any other members get a digest of yesterday's messages even though they're signed up for individual e-mails? I think that Egroups had a hiccup. Thank you kindly, Mike Matalis Downer

The TipUp just formally closed their interchange with the BNSF at Canton, which implies (but does not prove) that there was interchange back in the days of the Q. I would assume that both railroads s

They were rebuilt from SD24's from a variety of railroads by the ICG. "SD20" is their home-grown term. the major mechanical change is that they got de-turboed. Mike Matalis Downers Grove, IL mmatalis

You might be thinking of the MILW geep rebuilds that they called GP20's, and even installed ID plates saying so. The SD20's on the ICGulf were all rebuilt from SD24's of UP and Southern heritage, I d
