Excerpt from A Guide to the Illinois Central Railroad Lands The greatest extent of Illinois is on the meridian of Cairo, being 378 miles. Its average width is about 150 miles; - the greatest width being 210 miles, near the latitude of Urbana. It lies between latitude 37 and 421/2 North, and longitude 10 5' and 14 West of Washington. The area of the State is 55,409 square miles. Some of the States contain a larger area, but that area is made up of mountainous or sterile tracts, which must forever remain sparsely inhabited; whereas Illinois presents a nearly uniform fertility of soil throughout its entire extent. To compare it with other States, Illinois is nearly as large as the six New England States put together, and it is safe to say that its agricultural resources are twice as great as the whole of them.

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.

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.
