Photo of the Day
Posted by KCSfan on Thursday, June 26, 2014 7:50 AM

The caption of today's photo identifies it as an Erie crossing in Decatur IL.  AFAIK Chicago was the closest the Erie ever came to Decatur which leaves me wondering was the actual location of the photo?

Decatur Indiana, not far from Ft. Wayne. 

That makes sense. Whoever wrote the caption should have written IN not Ill.

Good catch! We've corrected it to Decatur, Ind.
