I happened to find this one while heading a bit further east to Chatsworth. When looking at my Chatsworth to do's from the Illinois Caboose List , I see it there:

"NKP 442 as N&W 557542, steel, bay window, Chatsworth and TP&E Hist. Societies, poor condition"

No longer in poor condition, so the Chatsworthians must have gotten an offer they couldn't refuse from Forrest!

Forrest is a small town along the Toldeo, Peoria & Western line at Rt. 24 and Rt. 47. Found on my 3-day caboose waymarking binge in central IL.
