Wabash Bluebird Train
The miniature WaBash Bluebird Train was purchased by the Forrest Historical Society for $20,000.00 from the William Miller Estate.

Powered by a 10 hp motor, the train is designated as a MT612 Model 109. The G gauge is also referred to as a 13 gauge, which references the 13’’ distance between the tracks on which it runs. For many years it has been under the care of Sylvester Fosdick Jr.

Odell Subway Tunnel
Across from St. Paul’s Church is an entrance to a 1937 pedestrian tunnel under Route 66, known locally as the “subway”. The entrance was sealed in the 1950s. The first 3 steps and the railing were replaced in the spring of 2006 by the Route 66 Association of Illinois.
The fact that this tunnel was a necessity to safely cross Route 66 is a surprise to anone standing on the quiet corner today. It is a dramatic reminder of the importance of Route 66 as a national travel corridor.
