I'm suprised that this thread has been Daylight-free.
Until Now!

SP GS-4 #4449 speeds past a waiting freight train drawn by #2479.

Lilb's Daylight has been released

Where though?

It's here
EDIT: Lilb has asked me to remove the link

I'm not sure who Lilb is, but how are we suppose to know where to download if he/she doesn't want the link known?

This is an average consist for 1946 according to Wikipedia. 19 of magicland's cars and lilb's 4449.

About your question involving the Cotton Belt, yes. I live around an hour away from where the former Cotton Belt snakes though southeast Missouri and eventually crosses the Mississippi River and goes north to St. Louis. As for the Penn Central I am not too sure but I do believe that it entered St. Louis Via the old Pennsy main line,

Penn Central had two entries into St. Louis, one via the Pennsy main line as stated above via Effingham and Vandalia, and the other over the New York Central through Paris, Charleston, Mattoon, and Pana. For a time, PC had directional running between Terre Haute and St. Louis, westbounds using the NYC and eastbounds taking the PRR. Conrail then concentrated its St. Louis traffic on the PRR, selling the Pana-St. Louis line to C&EI/MP (which had trackage rights), and abandoning the line from Pana to Paris. The PRR line went to CSX in the Conrail split in 1999.

The Cotton Belt entered East St. Louis from the south on MP trackage rights from Dexter, Missouri. This line was (and is) located on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, crossing the river from Missouri at Thebes, Illinois. Later, Cotton Belt gained an entrance to St. Louis from the west on MP trackage rights from Kansas City as part of SP's acquisition of Rock Island's Golden State Route.
