Gary Sams -> Toledo St Louis and Western "Clover Leaf" Alhambra, Illinois NKP and IC Tower |
Both railroads are now gone. The predecessor of the NKP was the Clover Leaf --- Toledo, St. Louis & Western.
The tower was northeast of town. The NKP is now the Madison County Transit Nickel Plate Trail. The IC crossed the NKP just west of Daudeman Road.

Jacob Hortenstine posted Alhambra Illinois Illinois Central is abandoned and the diamond removed NW straight railed. Rosemary Gary Sturgeon Kampmann: That was me in the white hard hat. Jack Sartoris: This happened after the IC-GM&O merger. The Illinois Terminal had trackage rights over this IC line and offered to buy it, but the IT's owner-RR's refused to allow it. The road in the background is IL-140, and IIRC, both lines are bicycle trails now. |
