I'm not sure what the class of track the former IC - ICG section is. If it's excepted track, it's a max 10 mph speed limit for freight, and revenue passenger trains can not be operated.
The former Wabash-NS section is most likely in better condition, where track class is concerned, but, I doubt the Bloomer would ever be interested in having a tourist train. Not with the Monticello Railway Museum located at Monticello, IL.
