It is hard to believe that Illinois Railway's Ottawa branch has been operating for 28 years as a shortline. BN 2978 and 2928 are westbound passing the now-razed wooden elevator at Millbrook, IL, on September 12, 1997, during the branch's final year under BNSF stewardship. |
I had to fire up Google Earth to find a satellite image that still had the elevator and steel bin. Thus Jul 2022 image has it. They were gone in the next image, Apr 2023.
