Description: Check out our website at DivergingClearProductions.com The Recordings Of Jim Adams, Volume 4 - Illinois Central Mine Run With Mountain 2608 Jim Adams was an employee in the shops of the Illinois Central Railroad at Centralia, Illinois. He used his unparalleled access as a railroad insider to document the last days of the steam locomotives he loved, taking his reel-to-reel tape recorder trackside and into the cabs of locomotives. In this volume, we present recordings made in the cab of Illinois Central 4-8-2 #2608 on a mine turn from Centralia to the Orient Mine near Waltonville on October 17, 1958. It’s railroading as it was, just before complete dieselization.
