Old industrial Spur into the HON Industries Furniture plant and old spur (not sure if this was a MILW spur, remnant of an old line, etc.). There is an old yard a bit past this point, but it looks like the spur in the foreground is still used for one ship

Owen McCormick	General	Zach, this little line is actually the old Rock Island line to Wilton Junction (now Wilton). The Mississippi & Missouri originally built west from Davenport to Wilton Jct, then south to Muscatine. The River Line was built later on, and the old Inland route was abandoned in the 1930s-1940s.	3/6/2011 3:44:55 PM
