| Description: | Grayville is on the bank Wabash River and the Illinois/Indiana border. Indeed, the tracks were very close to the river bank here. The depot has been preserved and has an Illinois Central caboose next to it. In an effort to increase revenue, the PD&E built a recreation facility near Grayville called Edgewater Park. It was on the Indiana side of the Wabash River, just north of the railroad bridge. |
