A mapquest map still shows some tracks crossing West Wood Street in Decatur, Illinois between Oakland and Fairview streets. Does anyone know if this is a currently used street level track or it it is the remains of the old interurban line to Fairview Park? Does anyone know the area? malcolmrcampbell@cs.com |

My grandparents lived a block or so from there and I couldn't remember where the Interurban line went through (whatever's left of it). Appreciate the help! --Malcolm malcolmrcampbell@cs.com |
