Greetings:
This road proposed to run up the Rock River Valley gave competing business
interests in Ogle County one more project to fight over. See below. Note in
this account the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis is succeeded by the St.
Louis, Rock Island and Chicago as previously mentioned, but it then morphs
without explanation into the St. Louis, Rockford and Chicago. I don't know
if that's a typo or actually reflects another name change.

Bill Diven
