John Hamilton posted four photos with the comment: "[L&N RR, Shelbyville Station]: My grandparents took my mom, Thelma Hamilton, and aunt Maxine Shouse to see President Truman. My grandfather, Ira Burke Rucker, is wearing the hat and my mom is immediately to his left and front with the dark band holding her pigtail. ❤️"
[It looks like it was along the mainline along the north side of town. But I still have not been able to determine where it was.]
