Hi Bill,
As to the ROW in Industry IL. that would have been the old MI&L (Macomb
Industry & Littleton) It was a very short lived railroad, 1902-1929, that
ran from Macomb IL. to Littleton IL.. It was started by area business men
to serve the local cattle farmers. It did have a very interesting history
during it's short life. It basically put itself out of business when it
supplied material for building U.S. 67 that runs throughout the same area.
Regards
Ken
