I just wanted to let everyone know about some of the places where you can watch trains in Southern Illinois and Indiana. At Effingham Illinois, there's an out of service train depot that is right beside the CN and CSX Diamond. A person can see maybe 40-50 trains a day through there. At Flora Illinois, the Flora City Park sits right beside the CSX main line (Old B&O) that goes to St. Louis. At Princeton Indiana, there is a depot that is currently operated by the Gibson County Tourism Bureau. A separate board of directors is in charge of maintaining and restoring the old depot. The depot sits about 5 feet from the CSX Evansville-Chicago main line and the NS Louisville-St. Louis main line. The depot has several historical books and photos of the old L&N and Southern. At Princeton you could see between 60-80 trains a day!! The Princeton depot is open to tourists on Weekdays from 9am-5pm. At Evansville Indiana, you can park your car alongside The Old Henderson Road and watch trains at CSX's Howell Yard. Howell Yard has about 20-30 tracks with an Intermodal facility and is a former L&N yard. <br />If you need more information about these places, please post a reply and I'll try to answer any question you have. <br />Also, if anyone knows of any other good spots to watch trains in Southern Illinois, Indiana, please post a reply. <br />Thanks.
