Hello Milwaukee Road fans! here's the history of the Rochelle & Southern branch to the coal mines via Mendota. I researched the old Sun-Bulletin newspapers, and microfilm at the Mendota library. I was interested in knowing more about it and I want to pass it on to you all so you know this history that must not be forgotten.
If you need more time to read the articles, then PAUSE the video.
