The Midwestern state of Illinois, known as the Prairie State, is not known for its varied topography, but this mostly flat land was indeed very conducive to the construction of railroads. It is located at a place where east meets west as railroads interchange huge amounts of traffic at Chicago, the railroad capital of the nation. Because it hosts smaller industrial cities and huge agricultural areas in the northern and central parts of the state, combined with coal, petroleum and other natural resources in the south, it's no surprise that today the 'Land of Lincoln' is criss-crossed by 7,151 miles of rail lines. Illinois is also at the centre of the nation's rail network, and an incredible variety of railroad companies can be seen traversing the state.
Through a collection of incredible colour photos, Mike Danneman takes the reader on a tour of the railroads of Illinois - from Chicago to Chester, and from the tunnel at East Dubuque to the high bridge at Metropolis.

Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway 1880-1940
In 1948, Chicago was the gathering place of 22 railroads, seven belt and switching roads, eight industrial railroads and three electric lines. Track was everywhere as passenger trains and commuter trains crowded the approaches to the terminals near the Chicago Loop, undisputed railroad capital of the world.
"Chicago Passenger Trains & Commuter Trains" captures the spirit and challenges of the post-World War II era, as streamlined passenger trains arrived and departed from Chicago's six celebrated stations during the pinnacle years of intercity train service. Vintage photographs show powerful diesel locomotives in Art Deco paint schemes leading modern coaches, sleepers, diners, observation cars and heavyweight cars of the foremost eastern trains, connecting in Chicago with the famous western trains.

The largest fleet of named streamliners in the United States, the Burlington Zephyrs turned heads wherever they went. Whether breaking records or starring in feature films such as Silver Streak, these unique trains immediately took the nation by storm. The first diesel-electric powered streamlined trains in America, they featured a 600-horsepower, 8-cylinder, 2-cycle Winton 201A diesel engine, and were capable of breakneck speeds. Each succeeding generation demonstrated the latest technological changes and enhancements.
This book covers everything from the debut of the Burlington Pioneer Zephyr at the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition to the record-breaking run from Denver to Chicago. It also covers the many challenges the Zephyrs faced and the technologies employed to advance this marvel in rail transportation. Hundreds of photos demonstrate the sleek construction of the stainless-steel livery of these silver bullets, as well as the harmonious art-deco interior finish of the trains' passenger compartments.
