That is the NS (former NYC) Kanakakee Belt line, to the left it runs to Henninpen, about fifteen miles away where the principle customer on this line, the former J&L/ LTV steel plant, sits closed. Prior to 1980 this line crossed the Illinois River on a swing bridge about a mile from the steel mill. To the right about 100 ft. is the point where this line crossed the former IC Amboy District, pulled up in 1990, at a diamond. The track here is still in place from Hennipen (left) back east (right) to Streator but unused while the steel mill sits closed. I grew up ten miles from Lostant in Toluca.
