I'm trying to remember, the last time I worked Table Grove (1952) I think the
local came up 2 or 3 times a week. Very lonly. The Arensville hill is about
1.6%. Heavy trains like iron ore had to triple it to get up.

Thanks R.B. What a great resource, thank you for sharing it.
Ack! I spent a good portion of yesterday afternoon exploring the line
between Table Grove and Beardstown. I found some great photo venues,
but nary a train in sight. As they say, timing is everything.
Yep, pushers in the middle of Illinois... that's why I'm modeling it.
Best regards,
Stan Maddox
