Looking North-Northeast at Main Street in Marion IL...the building at the far right is the old Central Illinois Public Service Electric Utility Office (CIPS)...and the related parking lot is their service parking and storage...This is still there today...but the office is closed. AMEREN IL is the holding company now. In the background to the upper left, you can see Crab Orchard and Egyptian Railroad piggyback flat cars with Trailers loaded with NORGE Washing Machines...the trailers were loaded and driven to the CO&E loading site...and backed onto the flats "circus style". The cars were taken to the Missouri Pacific interchange and sent on their way via MoPac.

This is the intersection of Main Street (IL Hwy 149) and Logan Street (IL Hwy 37) in West Frankfort IL. Karnes Real Estate sat on the southwest side of the intersection; with Wareco Gas Station on the Northwest Side. Wareco was one of the first self-service gas stations in West Frankfort. All of the other service stations were just that...full service stations. In the background on the upper left is the "Market Basket"; where one could buy farm fresh produce.

Huck's Convenience Store; West Frankfort IL. This is a Southern Illinois chain out of Carmi, IL. Martin-Bailey LTD, I believe. They have since expanded the fuel islands; but the building is the same.

Nice angle from the southeast. This is probably parallel to the road (1300N) to Pittsburg, IL.
