Starting in Tom Nevers, the line appears to run to the WNW from close to 69 Tom Nevers Rd, then running parallel to, but ~300′ away from, Lancashire Rd. It then tracks in a straight line to the airport, and passes as a very distinct feature about 1500′ feet from the North end of Runway 6/24. It then curves to run parallel to — and about 100′ to the North of — Hinsdale Rd. It’s then pointing at the intersection of Old South Rd & Fairgrounds Rd but disappears from the images. Beyond Tom Nevers, towards the ESE, it’s not clear from the images where the railroad runs, but there’s a very suggestive feature in the dunes where Wanoma Way curves back on itself just south of Tom Nevers Ponds, after which the line is lost…
