Leased for 2024
Railroad tracks mark the west border of the farm. Prior to the demise of the steam engine, Reevesville was a rail link in both southern Illinois and on the north-south line. Trains would stop here for water and coal; restaurants fed the crews. The coal tower still stands across a track just east of town.
