Hi ironhorseman[:)], you are correct on the area north of Alton,IL., it is Pere Marquette State Park. The Illinois Terminal had a line run north to Grafton, It ran where the road is now, some areas you can see right of way. There is a place called Cliffton Terrace where there is a little park with history of the line. As far as the line along the river in Chester, it is the UP line from St. Louis to Little Rock, about 20 miles south of there is a place called Gorham where the UP Chicago Line joins this line, It is a very busy area for watching trains. It is worth a trip down there.
