In the spirit of keeping cool....

In this muggy heat  alot of us do our best to stay cool as well as keep dehydrated.  I for one am no exception just about anyone is guilty of staying in shaded places, drinking lots of water, staying in front of a fan or in the AC whenever they can and even using a water hose at times to beat the heat.  We've all been there.  This is by no means wishing for winter because good god who wants to shovel snow or scrape off ice off a vehicles let alone slip and fall on your butt like I'm prone to do from time to time due to impatience and not taking my time.  Good thing i got padding back there to protect my butt from falls as well as keep myself warm.  Joking a side my friend was down from the heat a little bit so wanted to cheer him up with not only railroad pictures but the ones with a more wintery setting which makes you think cool and maybe get  the mind off the heat.  I plan on more winter shots in the future but the past few years the winter's have been  drier and warmer than it used to be and this past winter hardly had any snow for an exception of a few times. I for one am not complaining I don't like  scraping ice on the car or letting the car warm up a few minutes before going anywhere but we've all adapted living here so we just suck it up and deal with it when we have too.  I think snow is beautiful but after New Years i'm ready for spring.  Snow only serves a purpose on  and around Christmas with all the lights and the holiday makes it a festive scene.  Driving in it can be a pain especially with idiots on the road that do not know how to manuver a vehicle when you slide.  People tend to panic instead of staying calm but whatever this isn't about them.  This is about keeping  the thought in mind to beat the heat as well as I want to relive these encounters a little because it was beautiful.  I do give old man winter that belligerent as he may be.

Fulton County, Illinois Ghost towns Part 1

Image
Ghost towns are abandoned villages that since disappeared or are no longer the population they were in their hey day after an economic down fall, disaster or whatever.  For me I consider a ghost town a town that no longer exists but may or may not leave traces behind of it's existence.  Fulton County has a lot of old historical towns like Canton which was founded in 1825 and Lewistown which was founded  years before Canton.  These towns are example of towns that managed to make it despite economic disasters and natural ones. Former towns which have signs marking their location like Civer between Canton and Cuba and Tuscumbia around Bernadotte are examples of towns that didn't make it and ceased to exist and into oblivion of history.  The only thing that is exists is those two signs that mark the location.  It's sad in a way but it is what it is and people who lived in these areas did what they had to for survival of the time period so if they moved to other communities can

Middle Grove- Rapatee Coal mine

Image
This subject is about the coal mine at Middle Grove and Rapatee areas. I basically just know the years and also what Railroads served them but i did get to photograph the area of this so there is a general idea of this.   The Midland Electric Coal Company has several strip mines within Fulton and Knox Counties from the years 1933-1963 ( Fulton County, strip),1963-1967 (Knox County strip), and Peabody Coal Company which  opened in 1968 and closed around that time or 1969. The mine would open once again and be the Middle Grove-Rapatee mine in 1975 or 1976 under the Midland Coal Company I think.  It ran until 1988 but the last rail shipment was in or around 1986 by the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad.   Another company nearby or in this vicinity would be the Midstate Coal Company  which was a strip mine and operated from 1989-1996.  Over the decades it used the area railroads before 1960 it was the M&STL would would ship their coal and after it was Chicago & Northwestern.  The

Galesburg & Great Eastern Railroad of Knox County, Illinois.

Image
One of the little railroad's in the area I have an interest in was up in Knox County that ran from Wataga east to Victoria then east before heading north.  It served mainly coal mines but probably farmers as well.  Victoria had a depot here which still stands  The right of way and grade can probably still be seen from the ground if you know where to look.  I have yet to go up there and look but can see it in many spots from google earth.  One of these days plan on making another trip to look around some of these back roads and the country side for traces of the right of way as well as the areas where the coal mines once were.  This railroad had a sixty year history which  despite having financial problems up the rear still managed to last a little long than the Narrow Gauge (later CB&Q) line down in Fulton County out lasting that one by a decade.  The railroad's start was as the Galesburg, Etherly and Eastern Railroad in 1894 which was built from Wataga east to a mining t
