I happened to drive I-55 to St. Louis and back earlier this week. No trains passed on the paralleling UP (Amtrak) while I drove the segment between Bloomington and Springfield. The only freight cars I saw were a half dozen UP coilcars at a siding. All the money spent on the new signaling system, and yet the old position signals are still in use while the new hooded signals face to the side. I grew up in Ill., and I think ABE must be spinning in his tomb from what chronically happens there. A real shame.
