Photo 11-BLI-15

Comments

Shell gas station and restaurant. We're south of Dwight, Illinois, and the view looks NW. From bottom to top we see the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad, the original 1926-1943 alignment of U.S. 66 (Odell Road), and the 1943-1977 Dwight bypass. This is 10+ years before Interstate 55 was built. Building stands... For a 1972 view see Photo 4-KLI-30.
