The grade improvements obviously worked.  IIRC the Twin Zephyrs were among the 
fastest passenger trains in the country in later years.

Not to mention the curve and line relocations along the Mississippi, many of 
which can still be seen or in some cases driven as WI-35 is where the old line 
was in many places before causeways.

On the old C&I and CB&N between Rochelle and Savanna there are numerous 
points where the ROW alingment and grade were changed over the decades to 
reduce curvature and grade. Many of these can only be seen from the ROW.

Rode it just a "few" times !
