Description
Located halfway between Brocton and Oakland, Illinois sits the ghost town known as either Kings or Kings Crossing. At one time having both a grain elevator and a small coal mine, not much exists of it anymore. The elevator is now the ruins in the background, and the coal mine is a corn field. It still has a railroad however, but where Nickle Plate Berkshires ran at 60 miles per hour plus, the Eastern Illinois Railroad comes through at 10.
