Toledo, Peoria & Western depot at La Harpe, IL. The line to Keokuk goes off to the left in front of the depot; to Lomax to the right and behind the depot. Roger Puta took this in June 1963.
Scott Hardisty: So this is facing west
Scott Hardisty: I love this any photos you have from blandinsville to Warsaw I would greatly appreciate
If I have any they would be in here. Flickr search works very well. https://www.flickr.com/photos/129679309@N05/

The TP&W route west of Peoria was sold to Keokuk Junction. I believe this town is the headquarters of KJ because they store their power there. They used to run F-Units. But the new owners quit that practice.
