Nostalgia & History > Burlington Northern Mt Morris-Oregon, Illinois Branch Line 1989Date: 05/22/16 11:30 Burlington Northern Mt Morris-Oregon, Illinois Branch Line 1989 Author: northernilrailfan This branch is now being used for car storage, but in 1989 I caught the Mt Morris Job returning to Oregon, Illinois. Please excuse the too-bright video in this transfer. A complete better quality 16 minute version can be found here; https://www.facebook.com/northernilrailfan.trainvideos/videos/vb.100002321935064/927329337354455/?type=3&theater

Morris) closed its doors, the Illinois Railway, which operated the line after the BN gave it up, would haul eleven boxcar loads of paper to the plant five days a week when the plant was busy. There were also occasional loads of scrap paper back out. Times sure have changed in the printing business.
