    The last contest was over quite fast, so here's another one for the weekend, or how long it'll last... :)

    I thought this was to be found very fast, in fact I didn't think it'll last through out the weekend.

    So maybe I should narrow down the search area a bit.

    It's in a state that borders to or have the Mississippi river run trough.

    I remember seeing this before on a previous search. Now I can't remember where this is though.:rats:

    Looks like ex-McCloud box cars. I cannot dig out a mental picture of that ornate depot- Where have I seen it pictured?

    Hmmm, is this one gone completly dead?

    Well search area is hereby narrowed down to MO, AR, LA, TN and MS. Furthermore, there is a danish chocolatebar, which name is the same as the first half of the town we're in ;-)

    Now go find that railroad :)

    Dunno where folks are lately. I have looked, on and off. But am not finding anything. That depot has me.... Motive power sitting around reminds me vaguely of Mid-South RR.

    I sure don't have any ideas about candy from from your part of this world. Don't eat much of that stuff, so have never even thought about it.

    I did some Googling and found a couple hopeful locations based on the clues but came up empty.

    I did some googling on the chocolatebar as well, and it was actually quite hard to find that specific one I was refering to.
    It is made by a company called "Toms".

    I might as well take out a few more states to not search in :) : Not TN and MO.

    I found Toms, but that hint has been fruitless so far...

    It's actually a spin off of one of their products!
    The Holly Bar.

    Location - Holly Springs, MS
    34*46' 05.58"N
    89*25' 58.99"W

    And I was JUST north of here late last night!!
    Was in/around the area of Olive Branch, but
    not quite far enough south!

    I wasn't anywhere close. I was on the northern area of LA. Good find, Keith!

    Well done on the location Keith :). Anyone up for naming the railroad company there.

    1872-1982 -> Illinois Central

    1982-1993 -> Kyle Railroad, under the name Natchez Trace Railway

    1993-Present -> Pioneer Rail Corp, resurrected the name Misissippi Central

    Current power consists of:

    2 EMD GP16 -> #1604/1605
    1 EMD CF-7 -> #488

    Google and Wiki were my friends tonight!! :)
