Classic Railroad Series 1037 - 1957 Footage CRI&P at Bureau Junction, IL
3 minutes of film that encouraged this home-bound railfan to take some time to delve deeper. The rare Alco DL-10(7? #623?) in the second scene prompted me to share it. Among lots to see, it appears Route 29 was on a highway overpass bridge in one of the latter sequences. Indeed, a 1941 aerial photo from an Illinois State Geological Survey that put Bureau Junction in the far bottom of the image, shows the shadow of the bridge. This photo is from a different flyover than the more common aerial photo of Bureau; that one a bit more exposed and with the roundhouse and coal tower some of the first things to notice, Those two structures are in this image as well, but it also shows smoke from a steam loco just South-West of the depot and with cars stretching back East. If this IS what we are seeing, there was an ESE wind that day. Adjacent photos of this pass (again with the village in far bottom corners of the frames) do show a slightly different billow of smoke as the aircraft flew over.
In the video, besides the passenger trains, we see a short freight.
Having visited nearby Bureau in person a few times over the last several years, the area landscape looks familiar (tho 60 years since) in all but the first two sequences; those wide-open stretches are possibly closer to DePue?. I have a comment posted to the author; his original YouTube description is; Vintage footage of the Rock Island Railroad around Bureau Illinois in 1957. Neat footage of a fallen flag and is different in that his other uploads are of modern scenes; some from S. America. Not sure if this is unique footage, but just trying to identify that Alco as #623 I found very few images or film of the Rocks' few DL- engines.
A nice diversion on these few pleasant late summer days for me and with cool crisp NW breezes...
FWIW, Below is some Wiki info on Bureau Junction;
Bureau Junction, usually called Bureau, is a village in Bureau County, Illinois, United States. The population was 322 at the 2010 census.[3] The village name is shown as both Bureau Junction[4] and Bureau on federal maps,[5] and is commonly called Bureau, including by phone companies[6] and the United States Post Office.[7] It is part of the Ottawa–Streator Micropolitan Statistical Area. Bureau Junction was the point where the Rock Island Line railroad's branch line to Peoria split. Track west and south of Bureau is operated by Iowa Interstate, while tracks east to Chicago were formerly operated by CSX but are currently leased to Iowa Interstate.
The village is named for Michel or Pierre Bureau. Their original surname was probably Belleau, but local aboriginals may have had difficulty pronouncing the l sound. One or both of the brothers ran a trading post near where Big Bureau Creek empties into the Illinois River from 1776 until 1780 or 1790.[8][9] A man named Buero, of mixed French and Native American descent, and possibly a descendant of one of the earlier Bureau brothers, was operating in this area as a fur trader in 1821.[10]

Ghost Town History
Ghost Town Museum was created in 1954 to preserve a piece of Colorado's Wild West heritage.
In 1858 the cry Pikes Peak or Bust opened up the heartland of the Colorado territory to the gold prospector. Gold mining became a significant factor that led to the statehood of Colorado. The miners and the people who provided services to them quickly populated the western frontier of the United States. They needed transportation, and before long the twin steel ribbons of the railroads were pushing into the mountains to transport ore for processing.
Towns sprang up overnight and by the 1860's and 1870's people had blanketed the west. It was a rough and tumble time. Small encampments became small towns. Small cities along the rocky mountain Front Range provided a central location for supplies and services. The search for gold drove prospectors to every mountain valley, and every mountain peak. If gold or silver were not located, or if the mines played out, the towns were often abandoned to become ghost towns.
Little by little the raw spirit of the frontier died down. By the time gold was discovered in Cripple Creek in 1891, the frontier was almost gone. Today almost nothing remains of those exciting days of the old west. A scattered pile of old lumber, a tumbled pile of rocks marking an old mine, an occasional wagon wheel or a piece of equipment. The rip roaring camps of 100 years ago have become ghost towns now only a memory of a bygone era.

America West: Sumpter Valley Railroad and Dredge, Oregon
In 1971, a small group of volunteers set out to rebuild the narrow gauge Sumpter Valley Railway in Eastern Oregon.
Nearly all of today's excursion and museum railroads operate on abandoned rights-of-way. The Sumpter Valley Railway, located 22 miles southwest of Baker City Oregon, on U.S. Highway 7, has a unique characteristic over all of these railroads. Volunteers built the railroad themselves. Although the road bed and track is mostly on original Sumpter Valley Railway right-of-way, the original track was scrapped in 1947, and nearly all of the original road bed had eroded away. With an almost all volunteer work force, the SVRR has rebuilt over 7 miles of track, and is still growing. At the end of a typical 5-mile excursion, the RR makes a stop at the Sumpter Valley Dredge, a State historic site related to past gold exploration.
Auschwitz: Drone video of Nazi concentration camp - BBC News
Drone video shows the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp as it is today - 70 years after it was liberated by Soviet troops. The camp in Poland is now maintained as a World Heritage Site and is visited by thousands of tourists and survivors every year. Auschwitz was the largest camp established by the Germans during World War II. More than a million people - the vast majority of them Jews - died there between 1940, when it was built, and 1945, when it was liberated by the Soviet army.
Railway tracks into Auschwitz-Birkenau - Trains filled with victims from throughout occupied Europe arrived at the camp almost every day between 1942 and the summer of 1944.
Ruins of wooden huts at Birkenau - Birkenau (or Auschwitz II) was erected in 1941 solely as a death camp, the wooden huts are now in ruins with only brick fireplaces and chimneys remaining.
Entrance to Auschwitz I -The wrought-iron sign over the entrance bears the words Arbeit Macht Frei - Work sets you free.
Auschwitz I - The brick-built buildings were the former cavalry barracks of the Polish Army.
Courtyard between blocks 10 and 11 at Auschwitz I - Block 11 was called the Block of Death by prisoners. Executions took place between Block 10 and Block 11 and posts in the yard were used to string up prisoners by their wrists.
Auschwitz Birkenau is now a museum run by the Polish Culture Ministry, and a Unesco world heritage site.

Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad, Dataran Merdeka
With over a century of history, the Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad has been a part of Kuala Lumpur since the city was just a miner and trader settlement. Located at Jalan Raja, and a short pleasant stroll away from the Masjid Jamek and Pasar Seni LRT stations. Today, it is one of the capital city’s most treasured heritage buildings.
The beauty not only lies in the majestical frontal facade, but also the scenic and tastefully landscaped pedestrian aisle alongside the River of Life which runs parallel behind the building.
The red bricks, white arches and banding popularized the ‘blood and bandages’ style. The use of various types of arch helped ventilate the large building in humid tropical weather. Three towers line its outer straight wall: two circle staircase towers at each end, and a 41 m (135 ft) tall clock tower in the middle, with a bell replicating London’s Big Ben.
Four million bricks, 50 tons of steel and iron, and 3,000 cubic feet of timber went into creating the two-storey, F-shaped building, which had to be reinforced in certain areas due to having been built on a river bank.
