That was the train that was referred to in the Arlo Guthrie song. I think that at the time that was the old Illinois Central. The L & N stopped in Maunie, Carmi, Enfield, Thackeray, McLeansboro.

When I was a child my mother and I would board a train in Kankakee and ride it to Benton to see my grandparents in McLeansboro. The name of the train was The City of New Orleans but I'm not sure which railroad line it was. I often wondered if that was the same train that was referenced in the Arlo Guthrie song years later that started "Riding on the City of New Orleans........". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anna Pinter" To: Sent: Sunday, September 08, 2002 6:37 PM Subject: Re: [ILWHITE] Re: Millers in White County to Muhlenberg > I would like to see a photo of the old railroad station.
