If you're like my editor or I, you're probably exhausted at the huge amounts of information we had to unload on you on the weeks past concerning Chicago. Indeed, it's definitely more than I wanted to usually write for this history column, that's for sure. So for today's (late) post, we'll look at a much smaller (but still important) operation that is just as "Illinois" as the CTA. Now known as the Illinois Terminal Railroad, the Illinois Traction Railroad helped connect the Land of Lincoln's southwest corner with St. Louis across the border until it de-electrified into the shortline railroad we know today under Norfolk Southern. Today, let's wish we were in Peoria again as we take a ride aboard The Road of Service on this Trolley Thursday!
Your dose of streetcar and interurban history from the United States and around the world, every Tuesday and Thursday!
