Savanna has a rail museum in a converted Milwaukee car. I got there too late
to see it though. I spent the afternoon in Galena (the old Rock Island depot
is a very well preserved museum), Galena Jct (the depot there has been
removed), and in the Palisades state park. The scenery there at the Palisades
is pretty spectacular and you probably don't want to miss that. To get an idea
you can Google "Mississippi Palisades" and find a lot of pix posted. The old
Savanna depot is gone, unfortunately. I really would've liked to have seen it.
