Update: Edward Jarolin shared Michael Palmieri posting of a link to his 1983 photo of the McComb coaling tower. It shows the yard and tower overrun by vegetation.
Randy James Sad that IC industries let the physical plant get in such bad shape, the Southern didn't even want it when IC industries was trying to sell it

The Illinois Central had several major back shops sites, since it stretched north to south from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico. This drawing of its McComb, Mississippi shops comes from The History of the Illinois Central in 1915.
