Springfield and Illinois South Eastern Railway

Formed in 1870 as a consolidation of the Pana, Springfield and North Western Railroad and Illinois South Eastern Railway, the Springfield and Illinois South Eastern Railway ran from Springfield to Shawneetown, Illinois. It was under construction until at least 1871, when it was noted as having been increased by 140 miles. In 1875, the Ohio and Mississippi Railway acquired the line. It merged in 1893 with the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Railroad, now part of CSX Transportation.

Much of the S&ISE railbed has been abandoned. A section adjacent to Springfield has been paved as the Lost Bridge Trail for cyclists and hikers.

Portions of the old railbed are visible from Illinois Route 13 in the Shawneetown area, and a short segment of track houses two boxcars once used on the route.
