Andy Hughes: My mom’s family was from here. Wabash crossed NKP here going to Altamont & Effingham.on the old Paducah line that Gould bought. A portion of it became the StLouis line of the Wab.
Justin West: Is it still standing...here's a picture from 1980,

I'd say no. I believe we are looking eastish, and Cedar Street is in the foreground. The Wabash route is on this late 1930s aerial, but it is not on a 1947 topo map.
