Shoving Toward the Chrysler Plant Appleton Road Belvidere IL

On Tuesday of this week the last vehicle was built at the Stellantis (Chrysler) plant in Belvidere, a Jeep Cherokee SUV. It was a result of parent company Stellantis choosing to "idle" it indefinitely. Ironically the Jeep Cherokee came to Chrysler through its acquisition of American Motors Corporation in the 1980s-and Chrysler shut down the AMC assembly plant in Kenosha.

 

This train is shoving south along Appleton Road and under US Rt. 20/State Street into the Chrysler plant after having come off the wye.
