Railfanning in Southern Illinois and Southern Indiana.

Two other locations that I like to stop at in the southwest corner of Illinois are Gorham and the bridge over the Mississippi at Thebes. Both spots can be accessed by following Route 3. Both Gorham and Thebes are on the UP's mainline and host 40-50 trains per day. A branch line heads east from the mainline in Gorham so there is a small yard and a wye. There really isn't a good way to get close to the bridge at Thebes but the views from the river level are great when a train is crossing the bridge.
