    This photo has absolutely no historical value in our ongoing look at the Big 4 Cairo Line. However, they do show a young Rex Settlemoir in front of the Vienna, Illinois depot, long before he was a Navy Captain, as well as before he went to Annapolis, before he went to Harrisburg High School, and even before he went to Vienna Grade School! Photo taken by agent H.C. Settlemoir, about 1953. (Obviously, sir, I disagree. RR personnel had families, too. - rph)

    Furthermore, this photo of a RR station, RR tracks, and a RR water tower, just happens to have a small child thrown in for human interest....LOL

    Human interest, in a setting with obvious railroad artifacts. It has great value.

    I agree, Roger. Plus the Settlemoirs contributed a ton of photos to George Elwood's terrific railroad site.
