Throughout its existance
the "Dairy Route" could only boast of having three profitable years. During
its lifetime it became the first interurban to have an automatic sub-station
and in later years used lightwight one man cars. Also, its owner B. J.
Arnold, purchased a surplus WW1 submarine engine to generate power at Marengo.
Operation ceased on March 9, 1930. The cars sat at Marengo until the late
'30's at which time they were cut up for scrap. Today a
portion of the railroad
is used by the Illinos Railway Museum.
