L&N 1033
Title:  L&N 1033

L&N 2713
Title:  L&N 2713
Description:  I dont remember L&Ns E. St. Louis line typically being this weed grown, but this spot sure has more of a kudzu and swamp water deep-south feel than we usually get in Illinois farm country.

L&N 4055
Title:  L&N 4055
Description:  So what is the saddest thing about this photo: the sorry condition of the once proud red-brick Belleville, IL L&N depot, the shabby weed-grown tracks, the shabbier GP38-2, the fact that both the locomotive and caboose have been stripped of all thier L&N markings, or the fact that the local is a third of the way into its run and has ZERO cars in tow??? Things were surely winding down for this line...

When the line was still there
Title:  When the line was still there
Description:  Cheating a bit to put this photo in an L&N album, but it's more about the location than the train. This spot is just south of where the St. Louis Metrolink LRV line departs the old L&N right of way to continue further east. Now all that's left here is a curved ridge that used to support the roadbed running through this same cultivated field. Back in 84, however, you could still catch the afternoon local headed west for E. St. Louis.
