Official cover for Volume One of Rails Around Northern Illinois

Here is the cover shot for Volume One, which covers Effingham to Peoria. Shot is in November 1966 of westbound NYC passenger train headed to St Louis at Pana, IL. Photo by Clyde Anderson

I am still seeking shots from this particular line, which was abandoned by Conrail in the early 1980s. I’m also seeking shots of the NKP Clover Leaf, the CB&Q’s Beardstown-Alton line, the NYC Litchfield-Alton, and the GM&O Roodhouse to Alton including the old main through downtown Alton.
