IT's treminal operations in the Metro East area also generated a lot of traffic for N&W.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

At Carlinville what track is still out there is cut in several places and tree'd-in. (Suspect it was not NS/N&W's to pick up at abandonment on the Carlinville-Anderson Segment)

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west

So the short answer is......no one really knows if the farmer or his family still owns that stretch? Or does anyone know for sure that particular stretch is gone for good?
