The railroad carried, at the end of it's service, almost all logs to the Springfield Weyco mills. Previously it also carried finished lumber and other goods, including passengers on the 'Rocket'. There was a big mill in Wendling, and two around Marcola and Mohawk and several in the woods. Southern Pacific owned it for many years, then let Weyco run it, to their mill in S-field. I remember it running, and knew some of the old-timers who ran it. Glad to see someone may save it, local people don't seem to care or even notice it there in the brush.
