Jungle Run The Tonti siding just south of Alma has that perfect straightaway that makes watching a train come by so easy - if you can find a place to park and stand without getting run over. I can only imagine what the crew thinks when they see people doing this sort of thing… IC1000s crew has watched me follow them a hundred miles south and probably wonders what on earth I’m doing. I wonder the same, to be fair. — Jungle Run Credit: Leo Blackwelder

The Williams Jennings Bryan Birthplace Museum is located in Salem, Illinois. This museum is dedicated to the memory of one of the most influential politicians of the 19th and 20th centuries, Williams Jennings Bryan. The museum is located in a beautiful 1840s home, which is the birthplace of Bryan. The house has been restored to its original condition, and visitors can see the home exactly as it was when Bryan was born.

The museum contains many artifacts related to Bryan's life, including his law degree, political cartoons, and photographs. Visitors can also learn about Bryan's political career, which spanned nearly five decades. During those years, he served in the House of Representatives, ran for President three times, and was Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson.

The museum also offers visitors an opportunity to take a tour of the home and its grounds. The tour includes a look at the original kitchen, bedroom, office, and parlor, as well as the historic barn and gardens that were maintained by Bryan's parents.

The Williams Jennings Bryan Birthplace Museum is a great place to learn more about this influential man and his life and career. It offers visitors a glimpse into Bryan's childhood and the life he led while living in Salem. The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday, and tours are available by appointment.

Spiral Staircase The southern end of the IC Champaign sub is one I've not shot until recently. Still, as I stumbled my way down the roads that follow the IC south of Effingham, I've discovered how difficult some areas are and how easy others can be. Farina is in the easier camp - nice, wide open angles, with weathered and beaten grain elevator tracks making a very easy viewing of CN A408, led by IC1000 and IC1026. Big ICs and big grain elevators are things that go together very smoothly, something that's hard to pass up when following these few remaining deathstars around the system.
