The location would be in Central Illinois near Mason City, Ill. and San Jose, Ill. Her farm is between M.C. and S.J. Time period 30 to 50 years ago. The tracks in question ran generally north and south and a little to the north-east. Does anyone know which railroad this could be? Or if Grandma's memory is a little foggy can you think of something close (except C&O). I know that the GM&O ran through there. It seems it would be Chicago & something. Was there a Chicago & Alton. Post the answer. Thanks in advance.
