I was talking to one of the older engineers at work last night (Alton & Southern Railway). He said that the Peabody Shortline crossed Our tracks in East St Louis between State Street and Lake Shore Drive. And after the I.C. bought them, they worked through the Gateway Yard next to mine that is currently ran by the KCS. Anyway, they did indeed buy and run three Locomotives. They were ALCO's. And to answer the other question, The Peabody Short Line was owned by the Peabody Coal Mine until the Illinois Central bought the line. <br />
