Springfield, M.P. 185.1 (B&O Crossing)

We start our tour of Springfield just north of the city limits where the GM&O crosses the Sangamon River. A certain young Illinois attorney of fame is alleged to have spent time fishing in the Sangamon River while he pondered court cases and arguments or pined for his beloved Ann Rutledge...

Get your kicks on Route Sixty Six!!!! Obviously a well-known slab of fast concrete with long, clear views as the Caped Crusader and his young ward ship the Batmobile out of on the of the many farm roads in central Illinois and prepares to challenge two truckers moving on toward the Windy City. The Batmobile's sensors obviously haven't sensed the pothole directly in their path!!!
