This abandoned railway line was formerly owned by the Racine & Mississippi Railroad, the Milwaukee & Saint Paul, then finally the Milwaukee Road. It ran from a connection with the Iowa, Chicago & Eastern in Freeport, along IL Route 75 through Rock City, Durand, Dakota, Davis, then up to Rockton, and into Wisconsin and Beloit. A majority of the infrastructure has been removed, save for some bridges along the stretch of ROW parallel to Route 75; the ROW is still preserved somewhat in forested areas.
