Description
...the railroad no longer runs through this little old fashioned, small town in Illinois. The tracks were removed years ago...but the sign still remains...a reminder of how things used to be.

Superb capture Bill. God Bless.
Cool shot!!!
I love finding little snippets of history like this Bill. Great post.
Wonderful shot! Love the history behind it as well.
Particularly nice to find it after the tracks are gone!
An excellent shot of a fascinating place. I like your composition very much. The crossing sign provides diagonals that divide the space very nicely. SO pleasing to the eye!
Great to have signs of old times still around.
Superb compo!! I love all the different surfaces.
Super cool shot....
I'm glad we still have Florida East Coast still running through our area. I enjoy the sounds of a train, and certainly don't mind waiting for them to pass through. I imagine if I lived very close to a track I might feel differently.
Reminds me of all the American old films :o) x
Very beautiful
It seems that some of the older thing just get cast off and forgotten. Nice shot Bill.
What a fun reminder :-) One should think, that when they removed the tracks, they of course also removed this sigh. Funny they didnt :) And I am sure Morningglory would change her mind, had she lived close to a railroad track on an iron bridge. I tried that in Copenhagen with atleast 38 trains passing.... per hour.
A real shame over there.. Over here, they are re-laying some lines, there, shutting them down.. Mind you, unless you travel on Main Line train, the others are slow and boring! lol A fine reminder..
nostalgic shot from yesteryear
Wonderful capture of an era gone by Bill!! Great find and capture!
Great compo here, Bill; I like the sign in front of the old plant, that rusty funnel structure is a piece of art on its own!
good to knew and remember history
Great mood in this picture :)
Stellar clarity, color with a fine POV employed in this poignant scene, Bill.
fantastic pic
Great pic Hugs Susan
Kind of sad, isn't it? A great shot, bill - well composed! Superbly seen and photographed, my friend! Now I'm hearing Arlo Guthrie's "Disappearin' Railroad Blues" in my head.
I agree with Rod. It has a sad lonely look to it. I think it misses its tracks. Nice work. I love the boldness of this.
