Theres something you don't see anymore         
Wow, does anything say 1980s quite like the old Dodge Rampage? Always found them to be rather unfortunate looking vehicles myself. But speaking of not seeing it anymore, you certainly won't see this or any other railroad action in Red Bud, IL anymore. Rather surprised to find there are no other photos from this location. -- I know there are some out there. Here, an ex-GM&O geep trundles a local turn along the - now abandoned - ex-GM&O line past the ex-GM&O depot in the Spring of 87.

Steve Eckert General Great historic photo. However, Red Bud was the northern tip of ICG’s Sparta District by the photo’s posted date of 5/12/87, with the tracks just beyond the caboose having been gone for over a year. After abandonment the local originated here, so perhaps the train isn’t trundling along but is instead getting ready to start its day. Otherwise we're viewing 1985 or earlier. 11/28/2015 3:44:29 PM
