It wasn't too long ago (within the last two years) <br />that the tracks on that line (the Illinois side, anyway) were taken up. I know it's been deactivated for some time, and was owned last by WSOR, but I can remember the tracks still being in place in '98. <br />Also, there is the old "gruber" line from Freeport to Bloomington and beyond, and the former <br />great western main line that are in the same general area of Freeport. <br />For that matter, both Milwaukee Road and CNW had branches to freeport from Rockton/Rockford that are in parts still clearly visible <br />
