The Alton Lives ! The
Alton Route Employees Credit Union still serves patrons at a new
facility in Normal, Illinois. At its original location adjacent to
the Bloomington Shops west entrance the small building still stands, but
had its dedication plaque removed and then reinstalled on the front wall
of the new credit union. The large sign along US 51 replicates the
distinctive nose markings found on the Alton's E7's, and still looks
great. UPDATE: Sadly, a merger has taken
place (we know that feeling), so the Alton Route Credit Union
is now known as Prairieland Federal Credit Union--Alton Branch.
Of course the building's dedication stone is still present, as is the
nose emblem (though a bit more subdued) on the signage.
