I have seen this line before. It runs through Olney IL, through Flora IL, and on to St. Louis. These tracks seem to be in good shape. A friend of mine has visited Olney before and says that he sees quite a few trains on this main line. A good place to watch trains on these tracks is at the City Park in Flora Illinois. The CSXT main line is about 10 feet south of the park in downtown Flora. A few trains off of this main line used to come through Fairfield. At Flora, a secondary spur came off of this main and ran down through Fairfield and on to Shawneetown. In the 1980s, this line was abandoned and is now gone. At Flora, you can still see parts of the old line that ran down to Shawneetown.
