A view of the southwest corner of Pulaski & Kickapoo St., catty-corner from Logan County Courthouse in downtown Lincoln. The two late-nineteenth century Italianate buildings are in the 400 block of Pulaski St.
The corner building at 429 Pulaski St. was constructed around 1885 and is a contributing building in the district. The two-part commercial building next to it at 425-427 Pulaski St. dates to 1890. With its cast iron front, second story windows with decorative hood molds and a heavy, metal cornice, the structure is identified as a significant building in the district.
On the left is the older part of the Lincoln Grand 8 Theatre on S. Kickapoo St. The Lincoln Theater opened in early-1923 with the Lon Chaney film “John Quincy Adams Sawyer”. In addition to cinema, the theater featured an organ and live stage shows well into the 1930’s. The architectural style of the original theater is Italian Villa, a design that is typically asymmetrical while the Italianate style emphasizes symmetry.
In 1985, the Lincoln Theater was twinned, and was turned into a quad in the mid-1990s. A $6M addition in 2016 (not shown in this photo) added four more screens, 775 seats, a new lobby and exterior streetscape. Rechristened as the Lincoln Grand 8, the theater closed in late 2018 after the owners defaulted on a $3.9M bank loan. Additionally, the city of Lincoln, which had bet on the theater project helping to attract more business and customers downtown, was out $2.3M in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) bond proceeds.
In the fall of 2020, the Lincoln Grand 8 Theater hit the market for $1.2M. The sale includes more than 42,000 square feet spread among three buildings - the original theater which opened in 1922, the 2016 addition, and a 1920s-built commercial building at the corner of S. Kickapoo and Clinton St. In 2021 it was taken over and reopened by VIP Cinemas.
Both of the 19th century Italianate buildings on Pulaski St., along with the Lincoln Theatre, are contributing properties in the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
First settled in the 1830s, Lincoln is the only town in the United Stated that was named for Abraham Lincoln before he became president. Mr. Lincoln practiced law here from 1847 to 1859. Lincoln is the seat of Logan County, which is situated in central Illinois approximately 26 miles northeast of Springfield, the state capitol. The population of Lincoln at the 2020 census was 13,288.
BNSF 3181 works the limestone caverns that provide a constant temperature for storing various commodities. From what I understand there are over 3 miles of trackage underground at this location. Pretty neat operation.
I'm overdue for another morning out here, it's always worthwhile. Until then, however, here's one that's been laying around for a while from a trip last year.

They are on Amtrak's Springfield Line main near MP 50 crossing the Connecticut River on the Warehouse Point Bridge crossing from the town of Windsor Locks into Enfield. The 1470 ft long double track bridge (though only one track is in service) dates from 1903 when the circa 1866 iron bridge was rebuilt by the New Haven Railroad, but even that structure was the second one on the site replacing a wooden Howe truss that first crossed here in 1843 by NH predecessor Hartford and Springfield Railroad.

This is a redo of a photo that I had posted this past Fall. After reviewing, I noticed that the color was a lot cooler looking than how the scene was in real life, and some of the shadows needed a boosting. I'm pretty happy with the result, let me know what you think.

Sunset at Lake Springfield, these ducks and geese wintering in for what has been an unseasonably mild year. . .
P&W B23-7 # 2215 is seen leading Connecticut Southern Train CSO-4 into Springfield, MA. This engine is one out of eighty eight engines that will be seeing the torch soon, as the G&W was ordered to by the justice department after falsifying tax credits for rebuilding engines to meet EPA emissions standards.
The NS local from Springfield to Decatur zips along the former Wabash mainline through tiny Niantic, Illinois in rural Macon, county, Illinois. The electrical tower occupies the former Illinois Terminal right of way that paralleled the Wabash across much of central Illinois.
A day off work and the conditions were perfect as we have had ALOT of rain here in Western Pennsylvania lately. Overcast, light drizzle and 59-degrees.
Perfect weather to have a vacation day! ..

A set of lite engines with a former BN unit leading, rolls out of the Springfield Underground. The Springfield Underground is a large underground cave system used for storage as a sort of warehouse. It has seen rail service since the Frisco days and today still gets regular rail activity. I have yet to actually go inside since its a privately owned facility but maybe some day I'll get permission and check it out!
