WEST FRANKLIN HISTORICAL DISTRICT AND SILKWOOD INN MUSEUM IN

MULKEYTOWN, IL

Aiming for Akin Akin Junction is the location that piqued my interest with the Eldorado Sub, being the first shot I ever saw of it. These old wooden trestles bridge the Eldorado sub across the road and connect into the Bluford Sub. Our short L588 will now leave the Eldorado sub, join the Bluford and head a short ways south, then rejoin the Eldorado at another junction just south of a nearby siding. The wooden trestle are very eye catching and along with the Benton feed mill were my primary focus for shooting the local. The sun wasn't at the best angle for it, but hey, you work with what you've got. Akin is a very neat spot, and one I'd gladly return to. — Aiming for Akin Credit: Leo Blackwelder
