Sangamon River Bridge

This is where the original Illinois Central Railroad, the charter line, crossed the Sangamon River south of Decatur, Illinois. The line is now owned by the Canadian National, and therefore we have the pleasure of seeing BC Rail C44-9WL on the point.

The Pennsylvania Railroad also gained access to Decatur via the same bridge. Their line from Paris, Illinois, came due west and merged up with the Illinois Central at Hervey City, and thence into town over the same line.

I’ll make it through, it’s a mess but I’ll make it to the water, wade to the other side, and there’ll be even more trees and branches and bracken on the other side, but I’ll make it through and keep going if I have to .

Watch now: For 28th year, Sangamon River focus of spring cleaning Watch now: Volunteers collect over 100 bags of trash at Lake Decatur Trucks come to collect the bags and junk when the volunteers complete their work, and dispose of it properly. The maximum of 40 volunteers did turn up this year, many of them members and friends of Forsyth Cub Scout Troop 147. Service is a significant aspect of scouting, and the Cub Scouts, in kindergarten through fifth grade, have to perform service projects to progress in rank. That’s also true of Boy Scouts, and Lucas Jable, a Boy Scout of Tenderfoot rank, was there with his father, Jeff, who is the leader of the Cub Scout troop, in an effort to rise to the rank of Second Class. Lucas and Evan Jable and friend Graham Blackwell pick up trash at the Sangamon River on Saturday.  Valerie Wells Support Local Journalism Your membership makes our reporting possible. featured_button_text About 15 Cub Scouts, accompanied by parents and siblings, signed up for the event. “Part of being a Cub Scout is giving service back to your community,” said Jeff Jable. “This is a good opportunity for our scouts to get out and help keep our community clean and help pick up the trash that is strewn about.” Volunteers were told to dress “to get dirty” and to bring gloves, so when two little girls found “about a million” dead fish in the flood plain, according to Sadie Meek, whose brother is a member of the troop, they could scoop them up into their trash bag without having to touch them.

Grab Shots on the Charter Line

I was surprised by this train today and tried to get turned around and in position—but simply did not have the time. What one sees here are the grab shots I attempted to salvage from the situation. It’s a shame, as the early morning light was brilliant.

This is a switch job running south on the charter line of the Illinois Central in Decatur, Illinois. The train is seen crossing the Sangamon River and then a couple of small trestles just to the south of that.

Sangamon River

Back on the Illinois Central Charter line—this is a southbound train that has just departed Decatur bound for Matoon and beyond. This bridge used to carry two tracks that supported both the IC as well as Pennsylvania traffic.
