Chapter 34 cont. THE CHICAGO, BURLINGTON & QUINCY RAILROAD In 1872 the Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louis Railroad was constructed into Rock Island and within a few years became the property of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. This road enters the city from the Illinois side of the river by the lower bridge, and entering the Y on this side, backs its passenger trains a mile east to the depot. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road is compelled to go through the same performance with its west-bound trains to reach its depot in Davenport, which is located on Front street, at the foot of Perry, and is also shared by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road..
