To my mind the Central Illinois is a ideal railroad for a modern ISL such as yours since CI served the older style urban industries that is still found just a few blocks from downtown instead of industrial parks..
Your urban decay leads into your older industrial buildings and IMHO it shows a once flourishing area near these remaining industries..Your layout also suggest at one time this was the industrialized heart of the city.
What makes me think that?
That little three track yard speaks volumes of a bygone era..You still see a lot of these small yards today but,most lay dormant since they're a relic of the past since the industrial area downsized by the closure of industries and those that quit rail service over the years..
Your layout is filled with atmosphere that speaks of its former glory.
