I seem to recall a 3016 in some sort of park or forest preserve near Coal City,il years ago. I also know of the one that was on top of the channahon Fire station. It was removed a couple years ago. How many were in the system?

I don't know how many there were, but I recall seeing one somewhere near I-55 in Braidwood back in 2007.
There were also several as part of the Byron system.
