Hello Leo,


To provide the transition history of just this Q "Cat tail", would not answer potential follow-on questions for the other Q branch lines by Illinois Railnet.   So here it goes . . . 


"The Illinois Railway, a subsidiary of Omnitrax, commenced operations on May 1, 2005 after purchasing the Illinois Railnet from owner North American Railnet. Illinois Railway operates four separate ex-BNSF lines in Northern Illinois.


The first line acquired, in 1997, runs 56.6 miles south from a connection with the BNSF from Montgomery, IL, along the Fox River to Streator, IL. Traffic is primarily silica sand.


The second line, acquired in 1999, runs 23.5 miles north from a connection with the BNSF at Flagg Center, IL, to Rockford, IL. Traffic is primarily scrap steel.


The third line, acquired in 2004, runs 7 miles from Oregon to Mt. Morris, IL. Traffic is primarily silica sand at Oregon.


The fourth line, also acquired in 2004, runs 17.6 miles from Zearing to La Salle, IL.


The IR also has trackage rights on the BNSF from Flagg Center to Oregon, IL, from Montgomery to Zearing, IL, and Mongtomery to Eola, IL. The railroad interchanges with the BNSF at Flagg Center, Montgomery and Eola; CSXT & IAIS at Ottawa; and the IC&E & UP at Rockford."


See you in Mendota!

Maybe I just missed the announcement, but when did the Illinois Railnet take over the last remaining segment(La Salle to Zearing) of the I.V.& N(former Q line from Streator to Walnut,IL) ?

I just learned of it from my day job when a car was dispoed IR(Zearing)BNSF and I was thinking that couldn't be right until I traced the car and sure enough it shows on the IR @Zearing.
