Only in the usual areas. Come on out and see for yourself. You'll be glad you did.

Galesburg RR Days
Don't forget that the annual Galesburg RR Days is fast approaching. The dates are Saturday June 25th through Sunday June 26th. There will be some displays at the depot downtown which are always worth a look. I recommend the food for sale at the depot's "patio" from the Knox County Pork Producers. G...

Re: EL west of Elgin
THANK YOU BDCONRAIL29 FOR POSTING THESE PICTURES!!!!
I was just in Ohio City this summer and was trying to picture things there. I later learned about the depot and multiple crossings in town. Your pictures help a lot.

Re: CN OCS????
Is that what I saw going westbound through Porterville yesterday at 12:16pm? If so, those cars were wearing the CN's old green and yellow. Very purdy!

Re: History of the ROW From Niles to Jackson
I posted my photos, now I'm waiting for someone to post one of this mystery NP reefer! Yes, I recall the NP reefer. I sighted it at least a decade, maybe a decade and a half, ago. I recall it lying on a farm not too far west of the I-69/M-60 junction. Upon a search for it a few years later, it appe...

Re: History of the ROW From Niles to Jackson
If one googlemaps the air line, one can find a "branching" of the line east of Homer. Was this a realignment of some kind?

Old MSU Amtrak platform
Just curious. Does anyone have any pictures of the old Amtrak platforms that used to be found along the Grand Trunk tracks at the Farm Lane crossing way back in the day? I'd be fun to see them again. I have faint memories...

What, no Aussies?
I have heard from many Australians that they cannot access this website. It seems a shame as many are fans of U.S. trains. They always get a message that it is forbidden. Does the host not like Australians? Please do look into it.
Many thanks mate.
