[Note the tilt of the left abandoned pier because of scouring.]

When I studied why a Milwuakee Road caboose was parked by the tracks in Rochelle, IL, I learned that Milwaukee joined the CB&Q tracks south of Rochelle and shared a route through the town and then shared a branch north of town that went up to Rockford. This branch is one of the CB&Q branches that BNSF sold to Illinois Railways.

This branch continues north to their Rockford Yard.
