With the tracks removed, it doesn't take long for flora to reclaim an area, unless, that is, the former rail line is now a walking/biking path..........

Not really so unusual, the interest in the past. As we grow older, we tend to want to record history in a better fashion for future generations.

It's like all the former towns that existed in Illinois in the past. Several people have spent years researching & going to the sites to record in books the history and locations. It's all fascinating, especially when the authors were able to find descendants who remember the towns or recall the handed-down histories.

That would make for an interesting interior.

Just as long as no one tries to grab a hammer when drunk...........
