Chicago & Illinois Midland (C&IM) Springfield Yard and Shops - May 29, 1952
#sangamonvalleycollection
[This is facing southeast, so the C&IM/Wabash Tower is in the foreground. As is the depot. On the left is the roundhouse.]
Gene Rebeck The scene remains surprisingly intact after all these years, except for what looks like the removal of a depot.
Jim Duncan Cool photo!!! A Wabash train is visible having just passed Shops Tower in lower right corner.

Rick F Looks like a westbound Wabash train just cleared North Grand Ave crossing.

Pillsbury and C&IM Springfield Yard - 6/4/1952

Ken Morrison Wabash/N&W/NS sweeping across upper third of picture, with Lanphier Park (baseball) upper leftRick F Also behind the top row of house is the B&O line and diamond across the C&IM with an interchange track on the southeast corner.
Ken Morrison Rick-I think what you're referring to is actually a C&A connector between the line from Peoria and the Chicago-St. Louis main. B&O never got further north than Union Station.Rick F The B&O used Ridgley yard as a terminal for the locals. This was a carry over from when they controlled the Alton RR, The property to the north of the tracks is for sale still by the CSX corp. In later years when the B&O had trackage rights on the N&W, they would head north on the C&IM to Ridgley yard. This continued till they no longer had service to Springfield.

C&IM roundhouse and yard. Lots of gems in this image. Continuing to enjoy the wonderful photos in Sangamon Valley Collection of Springfield's Lincoln Library, from Larry Senalik.
Stan L. MaddoxAuthor This later view does an excellent job of illustrating the location of the old roundhouse radials, with the juxtaposition of the later Diesel-era Shops buildings. https://www.flickr.com/.../in/album-72157642065465955/
Kam Miller In the upper left of the photo is a steam engine running either tender first or pushing a small train south towards the connection with the Illinois Central, seen in the upper right. |

A view of the C & I M railroad yard taken from the top of the Pillsbury Mills plant probably sometime in the 1930s. The area east of 19th Street and along North Grand Avenue is shown.

Rick F One interesting note about the roundhouse and powerhouse in Springfield. The railroad had to push the coal cars thru the roundhouse to get to the powerhouse to dump the coal. They would line up the turntable with a lead track and a stall that had a back door on the roundhouse so they could position the cars on the track beside the powerhouse. |

posted two photos with the comment: "
Was given this old photo by a now former employee of the I&M in Springfield. C&IM showing off their 50 units in the C&IM yard. In the background is Pillsbury when it was going strong. No date on the photo, but guessing it had to be back in the 50's. I do not ever remember the Pillsbury name being on the grain silos."
Kevan Davis Pillsbury was on there in the 70's.
Bob Rusciolelli Yes, but this was not the 70's. Pillsbury sold out in in 1991. Since they are showing off the 50 units, I'm guessing that it could have been in the 50's.
David Jordan Pillsbury opened this plant in 1929. Cargill operated the flour mill in its last decade, 1991-2001.

posted seven photos with the comment: "
Old Pillsbury Mills Plant in Springfield, Illinois. Federal EPA Superfund site."
David Lasley Pillsbury sold to Cargill who used the mill, closed it and finally sold it to a crook who illegally ripped out the miles of copper etc. creating the asbestos mess. He declared bankruptcy (was finally jailed) and we the taxpayers are left with a superfund abatement site next to a residential neighborhood.

posted three photos with the comment: "X32 steam crane which is now at the Monticello railway museum. Springfield 1974 by Ed Gordillo."
Paul Jones: Too bad someone stole the signs off of it while it was sitting out in the open at Monticello.
[That would explain why I could not find it in a satellite image. They are forced to hide it in a building. This is another example of a bad apple railfan spoiling something for everyone.]
