The legend of the antique train is that some scrappers bought it after the locomotive was taken out of service. Instead of selling off the parts for money, they decided to keep this little piece of history.

How Did The Train Get To This Illinois Farm?

No one is exactly sure how the antique train got onto the property. In this picture, there appears to be some sort of railroad tracks. The engine is just sitting on them so apparently, they aren't used for transporting goods. I'm guessing that is part of the way they moved it.
