Here's some pics I took of the former right of way of the ICG from Carbondale to Marion/Herrin (it splits into two directions just west of Cambria, one line goes to Herrin, the other to Marion):

And here's some pics I took of the former ICG line from Carbondale to Murphysboro, then heads west to Gorham and to Grand Tower and finally on to Thebes. South of Gorham this was known as the "Mud line" due to it's being fairly close to the Mississippi and occasionaly flooding. The line was cut back to Grand Tower in 1973 and the rest was taken out about ten years later.
