Lost Rails: Henley MO |
| Description: |
This is Henley MO, at one time a small town on the Rock Island's cross-Missouri line as well as a junction for the little-known Hickory Hill RR. Although not formally abandoned, there hasn't been a train through here since 1980, which is probably the age of the trees which cover the roadbed and rails, which are just visable in the lower right hand corner. |

| Title: |
Rock Island mainline |
| Description: |
This is the state of the f`rmer RI's "mainline" across Missouri, 27 years after the last train rolled over it. Nature is slowly consuming what's left; this portion is in the small Cole County tows of Henley. Officially the line has never been abandoned- but any attempt to reopen it will undoubtedly require an untold amount of money as well as years in court to&fight adjacent land owners. |
