I visited the Fox River Trolley Museum back in the early 70s. Beautiful collection of cars. Getting back to the to miscreants that cause that considerable damage maybe they should be brought into a closet and beaten with a rubber hose. I truly believe in corporal punishment. |

How times change, and not for the better. I grew up in Elgin in the forties and fifties when the Chicago Aurora & Elgin interurban was operating. Passenger cars were stored overnight and on weekends in both Elgin and Aurora on sidings, out in the open and unprotected. I'm not aware they were ever so much as scratched. |

The problem is that they are ‘juveniles” and will probably not receive more that a slap on the wrist for what they did. Depending on Illinois law, their parents may be able to be sued in a civil court to recoup the coast of repairs. |

The fastest train on the CA&E was the "Cannonball" limited, one hour from Wells St. terminal to Elgin and Aurora. (The limiteds split at Wheaton.) There was an eastbound Cannonball in the morning rush. Other limiteds covered the distance in 70 minutes. The fastest train on the Milwaukee Road was an express from Union Station to Elgin in 50 minutes. I'm not as familiar with the Burlington, but the raceway from Union Station to Aurora is famous.The great advantage of the CA&E was the frequency of the trains (three trains an hour in each direction between Wheaton and Chicago) and distribution in Chicago, thanks to free transfer to the "L". CA&E was conceived as a high-speed interurban. |
