Put Illinois Terminal rail history into your golf collection with Illinois Terminal Railroad Company golf balls. The name recalls an electric interurban network that served central and southern Illinois, connecting St. Louis and Springfield and extending to Peoria and Danville. Passenger service ended in 1958 as freight operations took on greater importance; the railroad later merged into Norfolk and Western in 1982. A fitting choice for golfers, rail fans, and collectors with an interest in the region's transportation 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.
