(9 — From Millington to Newark is a mile as the crow flies but the Illinois Mid- land is no crow. The Illinois Midland is a two-| mile-long railroad with one loco- motive run by engineer Bill Thor- sen of Newark. Thorsen also is conductor, brakeman, yardman, freight clerk and repair crew. It takes two miles to cover one because the right of way is laid through the lowlands between the two Kendall County villages, That's why Thorsen frequently spends more time as repair crew than as engineer, The tracks run through quicksand and often spread, de- railing the engine or cars. Coming to Millington from New- ark isn’t too bad a trip. It’s the return run that's tough.
