Unused ex IC coal line where the bridge once used to lay         
Illinois once ran coal trains on this line to the Rend Lake coal mine. So did UP. There were a couple of branching lines and a wye outside of Waltonville. The lined had closed down in early 2003 I believe but the last train on this line may have been on 12/08/08 which was a storage train with open hoppers. The bridge here was removed a few months ago due to farmer complaining about it
