The Milw line was the Ashdale Cutoff, which was a bypass
around Savanna. It linked Ashdale, located west of Lanark on the
Elgin-Savanna mainline, with Ebner on the Savanna-East Moline
line. Eventually, Milw trains would find their way to the Davenport,
Rock Island & North Western (DRI&NW), the Dri line.
