and he notes - You might find this site interesting:
http://www.aslrra.org/who_we_serve/railroads/ There are links by state to short lines all over the U. S., most with photos and railfan info. Tolono, IL is Don Heimberger's home town. It's about half-way between Chicago to St. Louis and near Champagne/Urbana. It's a junction point on NS (nee Wabash) & CN/ IC RRs. More than likely the steam loco was Alan Pegler's "Flying Scotsman" on part of its tour of the U. S. back in the 60s. Tolono is quite a busy place for a one-horse town. More info on train movements can be found on this site: http://www.railfanswelcome.com/RailfansWelcome.htm Also there are buttons at the bottom of the page for railfan sites listed by state plus a lot more information, i. e. radio frequencies, good spots for photos etc. Raleigh At 09:52 AM 12/10/2004, Barry Comer wrote: >Hi Group.
