Orphan Train stop, April 5, 1889 at Dubuque

Looking for an old Dubuque newspaper account, etc. announcing arrival of Orphan Train around April 5, 1889. I found the following in an archived Minnesota newspaper:

Homes for Catholic Orphans
Dubuque, Ia., April 5. - An agent of the New York Catholic orphan asylum passed through here Thursday with fifty orphans principally girls between 5 and 8 years destined for Northwestern Iowa, where homes have been provided for them with Catholic farmers.

I am hoping to find a listing of the children who were on that train and other stops it would make.

I am registered with the Orphan Train Heritage Soc. of America and the Iowa branch as well so I am not in need of referrals to these groups.

Thanks!
