the freight cars too.. ADM , Staleys, Ralston Purina, Firestone, Catapiller Tabor grain, Spencer Kellogg, All had factories there.... Sorry you got me going
I grew up in Decatur Illinois, in town we would see Illinios Terminal,Illnois Central and Wabash later N&S but I remember also remember seeing Pennsy and Nickle plate , Missouri Pacific...Santa Fe and union Pacific every once in awhile I don't think there wasn't a railroad name that didn't go thru / I had one guy argue with me one time about a B&O thru the area and he said no way then I showed him a line map I found . Decatur was a Major repair depot for Wabash. .

Great idea, cause they all tie in, uh, sort of. Just have a location to balance them all.
