From somewhere in Illinois

Actually, I am pretty sure this was along Route 1, and south of Danville, but how far south I don't know. I wonder how long it has sat there...what happened that it was left sitting there?

  7. always so sad to see places like this just wasting away. but they do have a character all their own and make for great photo subjects. we're left to make our own stories up unless we live close enough to know the story behind its abandonment. hope all is well~

  8. I'm thinking a UFO put it there. The aliens have been using it as a bar in the middle of the night. Ah, ok maybe not aliens. Anyway, that is a awesome picture, it looks so lonely.

  10. Its condition certainly raises many questions. It looks bent as though it was in a derailment. Fine shot.

  11. Yep, an old passenger train car. Makes one wonder what purpose someone used it for. Maybe storage of some kind.
    I like it's old and rusty look. It would make a nice long playhouse. :)

  12. Wow it is quite ramshackle isn't it? Can you imagine how it would have looked when it was in use - I bet it was wonderful.

  13. Wow. People can actually get tax credits for keeping a train car or caboose on their property. I'm surprised that someone didn't 'rescue' it while it was still in rescue condition.

    Neat shot, but kind of sad too.
