End of the line on the KD

This bumper is the north termination of the KD Industrial line off of the UP Belvidere Branch/Rockford Subdivision in Loves Park IL. It is on the property of Rock Valley Oil and Chemical. This line used to continue northeast for another 65 some miles to Kenosha WI. It was originally built in the 1850s and was a busy freight and passenger link between Rockford and Kenosha. There is actually a siding just to the west of this location that crosses north of Windsor Road for a few hundred feet onto 2 industrial properties. KD stands for Kenosha Division. This was once the Kenosha, Rockford & Rock Island.
