I lived in Edgemont on South 83rd St. The Day Line tracks as I remember them called, ran at the end of my street and seperated Edgemont from Centerville. From there they crossed Hwy 157 over a trestle (I used to play there) and climbed into the Bluffs up into Signal Hill. Where abouts did you live? [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by PHARMD98233 I used to live a block away from the Peabody Shortline tracks in Belleville, IL. They ran ALCO RS's usually in sets of 2 or 3 engines. The engines were painted in the same color scheme as the hoppers. I do not recall anything about the cabeese. The Shortline was owned by Peabody Coal. It seems like there is a railroad historical society which covers the lines which coursed through that area. The owner of RED BOARD Hobby in Belleville, IL is probably a good resource to contact for information on the society. [/quote]
