Re: [CBQ] Mt. Morris Track Plan

["cvlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

Steve-
Actually, the Mt. Morris branch is even more interesting than most think....
....when it went all the way to Forreston, it was the IC's means of entry for 
its Iowa lines into Chicago.... over trackage rights on the C&I and CB&Q all 
the way to the St. Charles Air Line for most of the period until the IC finally 
completed the Chicago, Madison & Northern. 
This is an unwritten Chapter in the History of the CB&Q in Illinois and 
deserves more research!!
