...warmer...

You need more than the name of the state though...

At least let us get the state before we try narrowing down

Not Watseka. Right state though.

Sorry. It is in Illinois. I meant I wanted more than just the state...especially since we normally have Michigan locations.

Correct track?

GreatLakesRailfan · Fri Jun 28, 2013 12:26 am

No. This line does not pass through Watseka. It is roughly parallel to one of the lines that passed through town though.

Dang.

Yes. The train was northbound at Clifton, Illinois.

Guess I should go back and unedit the post I made in the location updates thread when I posted the photo as a whereizit...

Nice work "59caddy"!

Yeah, one of the MP15s it looks like...

caddy, next time you are in Plymouth, take more shots from the same street, so I can get a good picture of the signals there. Also, if possible, the same sort of thing from the west and east. Plymouth is a mess of signals I need to figure out for my map updates!

Okay, although satellite imagery might be more help than pictures in some instances. And I guess you already know that it's hard (actually it's probably impossible) to get pictures of the signals from the north of diamond.

I've tried the satellite stuff. I can see where they are, but not what they are (how many heads!) Yeah, it will be darn near impossible to see the north end until we get new satellite imagery...

You should be able to see heads with Bing Maps birds' eye view, their imagery is on an angle instead of straight down.

Google has theirs like that too, but it is too fuzzy. Likewise with Bing

Nope that switcher from Michigan Air-Line and Alco S2 been sitting there such a long time that the wheels are starting to rust to the rails

Here's one. This is evidence of a railroad crossing from the past. The pavement markings are under several layers of tar and gravel.
Where is it (hint: this is a boundary between two townships, so there are two correct answers.) and what was the railroad? (Hint: Rails pulled up around 1982.)
