GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of American rail history with an Illinois Central Railroad backpack inspired by the line that connected Chicago with the Gulf Coast. Chartered in 1851 after the federal land grant of 1850, IC grew from its landmark Illinois route into a far-reaching system known for powerful locomotives and celebrated passenger trains. This everyday carry piece is made for railfans, commuters, travelers, and collectors who appreciate the enduring IC name.
Illinois Central Railroad, reporting mark IC, was chartered by the Illinois General Assembly on February 10, 1851, following a federal land grant signed in 1850. It became the first land-grant railroad in the United States. When completed in 1856, its main line from Cairo, Illinois, to Galena was the world’s longest railroad, with a branch from Centralia to Chicago. The system later expanded into Iowa, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Nebraska, linking Chicago with New Orleans and Mobile. Passenger operations included the Panama Limited, City of New Orleans, Green Diamond, Hawkeye, and City of Miami. In 1972, Illinois Central merged with Gulf, Mobile and Ohio to form Illinois Central Gulf Railroad. The company resumed the Illinois Central Railroad name in 1988. Canadian National Railway acquired control in 1998, integrated operations in 1999, and retains Illinois Central as a non-operating subsidiary.
