Photo caption: "C&IM president Fred Schrader was not only an active and busy railroad executive, but also a prominent civic leader. In 1949, a ceremony was held at the New Salem State Park near Petersburg on the occasion of the newly restored pioneer buildings there. Poet Carl Sandburg was the guest of honor and entertained the crowd with his ballads and words of wisdom. Sandburg is pictured here with his guitar; seated to his left is Fred Schrader, the master of ceremonies. Photo was taken October 8, 1949."]]>
