Starting in Carrier Mills, the trace includes the RoW of an interurban along the north side of the C&V; The Southern Illinois Railway & Power Company.

It served Carrier Mills, Harrisburg and Eldorado operating a 15-mile system
and was in operation for 20 years from 1913 to 1933 being sold to the Central Illinois Public Service Company just prior to abandonment due to loss of traffic from highways and automobiles.

Also numerous mine spurs are seen.

The Cairo and Vincennes Railroad was a 19th-century American railroad that connected Cairo, Illinois, with Vincennes, Indiana.

It became part of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway (Big Four) system, which itself became part of the New York Central Railroad system in 1906.

With the exception of a small portion in Carmi, the entire line has been abandoned, though the right of way, with numerous concrete bridges, remains mostly intact.

The bridge over the Wabash River also remains, now operated as a toll bridge by the town of St. Francisville for automobile traffic. Part, in Illinois, has been rededicated as the Tunnel Hill State Trail
