| Description: |
Southern GP38 #2751 leads a train at Muddy, IL, north of Harrisburg on the old Big 4 (originally the CCC&STL, later NYC, PC, Conrail and finally Southern and NS) "Egyptian" line to Cairo on April 24, 1982. Southern, soon to be NS, had originally acquired this line from Conrail the year before, to use as a route to interchange coal traffic from Sahara Mine west of Harrisburg to UP at Karnak, and run unit grain trains down to the barge terminal on the Ohio River at Mound City, even upgrading the track to welded rail. The traffic not panning out the way they had hoped for, NS abandoned the line by 1988. The tracks through here were ripped up not too long after. The ROW was later made into the Tunnel Hill State Trail, which runs between Karnak and Eldorado. Of which this location is also part of. |
