1926 This is a photo of the Big 4 passenger station, at the "end of the line" in Cairo, Illinois. Pretty obvious that when the C C C & StL built this station, they expected Cairo to generate a lot of business. Of course history proved to be a much different story and today, Cairo is almost a ghost town. CAPT Rex Settlemoir Collection
Lovely station, but what a shame that projected development didn't work out. I guess river traffic on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers kinda ate the Big Four's lunch....:tb-ooh:
I sure wish we could go back in time. Things and people were better then. Thanks for more history Roger, and Happy New Year to all of you.
