I am planning on surveying the abandoned line from Sidell to
Olney, Illinois. Not being able to find the kind detailed maps that
I needed (and probably not being able to afford them if I could
have), I decided to make my own. Using numerous maps and satellite
images, the following page links to what I have come up with:

I would like those who are more familiar with the line to take a
look at these and see where I have gone astray. I'm also asking for
information regarding any remaining culverts, structures, rolling
stock(I know, I know), photos, people, museums, historical
societies, and the like that I should cover along the way. Any help
will appreciated by adding your name to Acknowledgment page, should
you approve.
Thanks In Advance,
