Try southern Indiana. Milwaukee Road between Bedford and Westport - GONE. Milwaukee Road between Bedford and Oolitic - GONE. Monon between Bedford and Bloomington - GONE. B&O between Bedford and Rivervale - GONE. Bedford & Bloomfield (Monon) - GONE. Monon between Bedford and Walner - GONE. Milwaukee Road between main line and Gaberson - GONE. B&O between Rivervale and Stonington - GONE. Monon between Orleans and West Baden Springs - GONE. The Monon ran passenger trains between Chicago and Louisville until 1967. Amtrak ran between Chicago and Fla (on Monon Tracks through Ind.) until about 1978. The B&O ran between Baltimore and St. Louis until 1971 and the Milwaukee Road ran several passenger trains between Terre Haute and Seymour (including a one car Budd unit). Plus, old time runs between Bedford and Bloomfield and Bedford and Rivervale (mainline of the B&O). Now, all that remains is the Canadian Pacific through Bedford and the CSX through Mitchell. It was a dark day for southern Ind. when CSX was formed.
