Gerald, 

Fantastic find!  If you took a photo of the Leonore depot, could you please 
post for us?  I also had the pork tenderloin lunch at Smitty's with Bob W, 
Larry, Steve, & Bob H a couple of hours before your group.  We rushed back to 
the next BRHS clinic without cruising down Leonore's main drag and thus missed 
the depot!   I will be back down that way in June and will take alook for 
myself.  

Under Bob W's direction, we later followed the abandoned IVN line from 
Steator's Broadway & Vermillion along Broadway to the Steator HS.  Bob then 
routed us west of town to where the IVN cme under a NYC bridge and headed NW to 
LaSalle (there was still a "No Trespassing, BN, Inc.").  Although in most 
places the grade had been plowed under back in the 1980's, the power lines are 
still there at a SE-to-NW angle through the farm fields along the abandoned 
line.  SE of Ticona, there are a couple places where the a small portion of the 
grade is still visbile with some concrete culverts.  North of Ticona, Bob also 
showed us a ravine where supports from a curved IVN trestle are still visible 
through the foliage.  At this point, we drove back into Streator for the 
dinner.       

I also also thank thee Streator meet organizersfor another great meet.  Gerald, 
I enjoyed seeing you & Lee again and those were great postcards that you sold 
me.
