I was a bit of a train buff as a kid and distinctly remember seeing the bright light of a locomotive on these tracks coming out of the then Midwest Steel plant. There were power lines that paralleled these tracks and as a teenager we would climb the abandoned poles and collect the blue ceramic insulators to use as targets for rifles. Great memories....thanks for sharing this on the net! jonathan,
