Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Illinois Central Railroad (ICRR) operated approximately 600 miles of mainline track throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky, stretching from the Mississippi River to the central part of the state. In addition to Louisville, the state's largest city, the ICRR also served dozens of small towns. Kentucky's economy was built around coal mining and farming, and the ICRR played a major role in both industries. ICRR's coal trains served as a conveyor for Kentucky coal moving to Midwest factories, and the road hauled a wide variety of agricultural products, including tobacco, grain, and fresh fruit. No mention of the ICRR would be complete without discussing the fleet of fast passenger trains that whisked Kentucky residents to and from distant cities. To maintain the locomotives that hauled all these trains the ICRR operated one of the nation's largest locomotive repair shops in Paducah.

Download or read book Illinois Central Railroad: Wrecks, Derailments, and Floods written by Clifford J. Downey and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With roots dating back to 1851, the Illinois Central Railroad (IC) transported millions of passengers and countless tons of freight. Most trips were completed without incident. However, there were occasional mishaps, including derailments and collisions with other trains or highway vehicles. Most accidents were minor, while others made the national news, such as the October 30, 1972, collision of two commuter trains in Chicago that killed 45 passengers. The IC frequently had to deal with flooding, for the railroad ran in close proximity to several major rivers. In January and February 1937, much of the southern half of the railroad was shut down because of flooding on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. This book depicts many of the accidents that have taken place along the Illinois Central through the years. The photographs are drawn from numerous sources, including the railroad's own photographers, amateur photographers, and photography studios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I started this book about two years before I decided to retire. My regular job at that time was the daylight Geismar road switcher. A nice young man was my student engineer and I taught him many things to help him become a very good locomotive engineer. He was very appreciative and he loved the thought of becoming an engineer. Because my young student was rapidly becoming better with each passing day, I wasn't working very hard at Geismar. Therefore, I was doing a lot of work on my book at home each day. In spite of all these facts, I wondered if I would ever get my book published. The more I thought about it all, I kept getting frustrated, discouraged, and those feeling prompted me to place my book on the top shelf of my bedroom armoire. My book stayed there for a long time. Then one day, after a lot of years of enjoying being a man of leisure, I started thinking - perhaps I should start on my book again. Even after I began writing again, I had many times that I would get discouraged, like most would-be authors. Then, my youngest son Philip introduced me to a very gracious, very sweet lady who said that she was going to help me. About the time I had just about finished my book, I took it to her lovely home so she could read it. The next time we saw this sweet lady, she informed Philip and me that she had edited every page and there was to be no charge! I was overwhelmed! Both Philip and I really appreciate all the very helpful things she has done for me and my book. She has given lots of sage advice, and she has made lots of great suggestions that we deeply appreciate. Without her wonderful help, this book would have never have been published. The book is a reflection of memories of events that occurred during my days as a railroader. The events are not in chronological order, and they span days of service on the Illinois Central Railroad, the U.S. Army 770th Railroad Operating Battalion in Alaska, the Philippines, and Korea.

Download or read book Chicago and the Illinois Central Railroad written by Clifford J. Downey and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Headquartered in Chicago, the Illinois Central Railroad was known as the "Main Line of Mid-America," as it was a major railroad cutting through the middle section of the United States with two major routes: the Main Line, which ran south out of Chicago toward New Orleans, and the Western Lines, which ran west toward Iowa. The Illinois Central Railroad had eight major freight yards in Chicago, which in 1937 handled nearly two million freight cars. It was also well known for its passenger service and operated some of the finest passenger trains: the Green Diamond, the all-Pullman Panama Limited, and the City of New Orleans. Chicago and the Illinois Central Railroad covers the railroad's operations within the city of Chicago, plus the outlying suburbs, from the late 1800s to 1960. It explores, through vintage photographs, the passenger and freight trains, suburban trains, locomotives, shops and repair facilities, and people that made the railroad function.

Download or read book The Iron Road in the Prairie State written by Simon Cordery and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-20 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1836, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas agreed on one thing: Illinois needed railroads. Over the next fifty years, the state became the nation's railroad hub, with Chicago at its center. Speculators, greed, growth, and regulation followed as the railroad industry consumed unprecedented amounts of capital and labor. A nationwide market resulted, and the Windy City became the site of opportunities and challenges that remain to this day. In this first-of-its-kind history, full of entertaining anecdotes and colorful characters, Simon Cordery describes the explosive growth of Illinois railroads and its impact on America. Cordery shows how railroading in Illinois influenced railroad financing, the creation of a national economy, and government regulation of business. Cordery's masterful chronicle of rail development in Illinois from 1837 to 2010 reveals how the state's expanding railroads became the foundation of the nation's rail network.
