The only thing I found was that they were bought by Illinois Central in 1960. Maybe that could be a starting point for your research.

Not even Google turned up any information about Peabody Short Line except their hoppers. Hoppers may be the only thing Peabody owned. Nearly all references I could find to Peabody were centered around Illinois Traction Historical Societies.
