CB&Q-BN line @ Yates City, Illinois...

The start of the Yates City sub starts at where else Yates City and went south
 to Vermont,Illinois which served Canton and Lewistown at one time with  
passenger and feight trains. From Dunfermline to Yates City BNSF has stopped
using those segments removing tracks from Canton to Farmington in early 2017.
The tracks of the old sub remain in Yates City or did the last time i checked.  It
has probably been left in case BNSF wants to ever store a car or so there if needed.
The depot at the park next to the  sub's old tracks were moved from one location to 
this one so it's not in it's original location.  There is an old Burlington Northern
caboose also on display next to the depot.

Here are pictures of the depot, caboose and tracks at Yates City, Illinois:
