| Fanning The Worm | |||
| I had a chance to catch the Illinois Railnet moving over the CN at Rockford, Illinois, past a switch that led to what is known locally by crews and railfans as the "worm", dating from back in the days of CB&Q. The worm was the name given the trackage as it twisted through the J. Behr scrapyard, and was used at least once by the Burlington to reroute the Empire Builder via connection with the IC. Today the worm is simply a name for switch used to access the scrapyard, as most of the trackage has been pulled. | |||
