William Sinclair's central workshops were located at Springfield Moss at Wellington Reformatory, near Leadburn. The company operated both 2-ft and 2-ft 6-in gauge systems and this one, with its tipping dock adjacent to the workshops, was of the latter gauge. The operation had only been seasonal here in its latter years, but by the time of this visit on 2nd June 2015 the railway had already fallen into disuse. Standing on the loop line were Alan Keef 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic L1 'Sandra' (W/No.47 of 1994) and Andrew Barclay 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic T7 'Dolly' (W/No.560 of 1971). Both had been re-gauged from 2-ft gauge.

Built in 1897-1898, this Richardsonian Romanesque Revival-style building was designed by Francis T. Baron to serve as a Union Station for Springfield, Illinois. The station was a joint effort between the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O Railroad), Chicago, Peoria, and St. Louis Railroad (CP&StL), and Illinois Central Railroad, and later served the short-lived St. Louis, Peoria and North Western Railway. The station’s original 110 foot (34 meter) tall three-story tower was removed in 1946, ten years after the clock faces had been deactivated as a cost-saving measure during the Great Depression. It served as a passenger train station until 1971, when service was discontinued, in favor of Amtrak utilizing the through-running station along the Chicago and Alton Railroad lines, later known as the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad (GMO), just a few blocks to the west of the station. The building features a multi-colored brick exterior with dark red and light red bricks present alongside buff brick, stone trim, arched bays, a hipped roof, hipped dormers, a large canopy on the Madison Street facade with brick piers and large brackets, which was the former passenger platform alongside the railroad tracks, and a reconstructed tower with four turrets, a pyramidal hipped roof, and four clock faces. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. After passenger train service was discontinued, the building served as offices for the State of Illinois until 2004. Between 2004 and 2007, the building was restored to its original exterior appearance, with the reconstruction of the clock tower and restoration of historic exterior elements. Today, the building serves as the visitor center for the nearby Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.

I'm late for Veteran's Day but I found this archive shot from last December, experimenting with the Rokinon 12 mm wide angle lens. I used PS's distortion correction to make it look less curved.
