Carry a piece of central and southern Illinois rail history with an Illinois Terminal Railroad Company backpack. The company grew from an electric interurban system that connected St. Louis with Springfield and reached Peoria and Danville. As passenger routes contracted, freight interchange became central to its work, and the railroad continued as a diesel-powered short line before merging into Norfolk and Western in 1982. A distinctive choice for rail enthusiasts, travelers, and anyone drawn to the region's connected past.
The Illinois Terminal Railroad Company grew from the Illinois Traction System, a network consolidated in the early 1900s by businessman William B. McKinley. From 1896, electric interurban trains served central and southern Illinois, with a Y-shaped main line linking St. Louis to Springfield and extending to Peoria and Danville. At its peak, the system offered passenger service over 550 miles of track. Financial strain during the Great Depression, the loss of an affiliated utility relationship, and changes in passenger travel led to reorganization in 1937 under the Illinois Terminal name. Freight interchange with major railroads became increasingly important as passenger routes contracted. The final interurban service ended on March 3, 1958; a St. Louis–Granite City commuter service also ended that year. Nine connecting railroads jointly acquired the company in June 1956, continuing freight operations as a diesel-powered short line. Norfolk and Western Railway bought its partners' interests in 1981, and the railroad merged into N&W on May 8, 1982. Later, surviving St. Louis trackage passed to a short-line operator, whose service ended in 2004.
