The most obscure rail line on the Burlington Route or in Illinois?

 

I’ve always been a big Burlington Route fan and tracking down old lines on maps.  I found this spur off the Burlington Route north of Gladstone Illinois.  It shows up on maps in the 1930’s then disappeared after 1940.  Coincidentally the lock and dam 18 on the Mississippi River was built at that time. I’m guessing the spur was buikd to bring materialls to the site but i have no proof.  The line is not listed in any Time tables from the era also.
