I too am interested in finding info on the Peabody Short Line. I grew up in the Edgemont Area of East St Louis, IL. Right below the River Bluffs. The old Peabody Short Line ran by my house as it started up the grade into the bluffs. I used to look out my upstairs bedroom window and watch the trains. Some of my fondest memories are of hearing the lonely train whistle on rainy mornings. I also found hopper cars on the Web. But I clearly remember seeing Locomotives painted bright yellow with green trim. Since I am a Switchman with the A&S in East St Louis now, I'll see if I can find some info/resources thru local channels.
