Tracks out of service

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

A bit unusual looking, but interesting.

I love looking around for old remains like those. Amazing what gets left laying around decades after the fact.

I've seen that crossing in a book. Rails, Rivalry and Romance is the title. I personally don't have a copy of that book, but one of my local libraries had a copy of it, not sure if they still do. Guess I can find out.

Judging by this and this, I'd venture a guess there was a spur or industrial line through here as well.
Well, :Censored:

That's actually a former MKT line.

It's amazing how many smaller midwest town are shown by goole to have rail line, only to find old relics when you look.
