with a wildlife refuge nearby which is where this train wreck happened. RMS had an informative report with video last night. It was a local reporter who actually said anything about the wildlife refuge and that a train with ethanol crashed not far from there a week or so ago.

But The town of Galena is well worth a visit for anyone who is interested. It appears to have been similar to New Orleans back in the late 1700s into early mid-1800s.
