Illinois Terminal

Published:

Description

Around Peoria there used to be 4 shortline connecting railroads. The Illinois Terminal had the most interesting history, having started out as an electric interurban and then making the transition to diesel powered freight only. The other 3 were the C&IM, P& PU and the TP&W.

:iconcrazydelmar: reminded me that the IT was the only Class 1 interurban.

These units started out as green and yellow but rapidly faded. Note the colour difference between the units in this string. That's not the result of any photo-manipulation.

I love short lines. Ever heard of Pacific Harbor Line.
