Hey, everyone
I am a modeler who is designing an HO Layout for the B&O’s SOuthwestern District of the St. Louis Division. I have reached a snag and I am hoping someone can help me, I need info regarding the activites that the B&O had in Flora, IL and also from Salem, IL to Olney, IL.
If anyone know where I can go to get a picture or drawing of the Flora Train station that would be wonderful, thanks.

Sorry, I can’t offer any help of the St. Louis Div. Check out this link to the B&O group. All the B&O experts and historians hang out there. http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Baltimore_and_Ohio/

Wiki has a lot of info on B&O. There’s a bunch of links and maps you can access from their page.
I live in the area. What would you like to know? I would be happy to drive to Flora and Olney and get pictures of what’s currently there for you. Photos of the depot in Salem won’t be a problem, I’m 5 miles from there and it’s still standing.

I have pics of the Depot on my facebook website and other train pictures i post them once a week.
