Its Jan 1975 its still double main line track from Chicago to savanna IL on the Milwaukee Road D&I sub division with a working agent still inside the station .I went back in 2015 to line everything back to what it looks like today .the grain building is still there to the far right.

Wondered if you "ghost busters" would like to see it in 1963? Happy New Year!

Its May 1976 I'm at Milwaukee Road's Hampshire IL station on the D&I division . Its still double track to Savanna IL but this was the final year that it was double track as this was the they started single tracking the main line in sections.

Its June 1976 a view of the Milwaukee Road Hampshire IL station.
Robert Haugland: If they extend Metra to Rockford, will it go through here?
Erick Knaus: Robert Haugland no the current plan is to build a connection from MLW to CNW just west of the Elgin/big timber station, then through Huntley and belvidere to rockford.

Street View, Jun 2019

The day after I noticed an Illinois town with gerrymandered boundaries (Limestone, IL), I noticed these boundaries.
