What a wonderful trip back in time. I grew up and still live along the Van Buren subdivision. Wish that I had a video camera during that era to record history in motion. Thanks for sharing!
What a great time for railfanning back in the early 70's! F units mixed in with Jeeps and U-boats... Full F units in an ABBA lash-up hauling freight! Do you have any footage of MoPac and the Cotton Belt trains coming across the Mississippi River bridge at Thebes? That was a great place to watch alot of action when I was growing up in southern Illinois.
