Nostalgia & History > Second Section - IT Locations/DirectionsDate: 02/23/21 06:12 Second Section - IT Locations/Directions Author: Art045 Good Morning - here are three more IT to consider: two of the ex-CD&M car 271 - the first is Henry Stange's shot on 19 August 1951; the other is by Barney Stone and was taken on 21 August 1948. Barney's image looks like Springfield to me, but I appreciate any/all corrections on this. The last was taken on 22 February 1955 in Decatur, but I'm not sure at which crossing of a steam road and the IT this was taken. Thanks for any/all responses!! Art
