On the western wing of the system, I need to find out as many stations between Chicago and Galena, Il, due west of CHI. Im charting a historical graph and I've hit a vacuum in this area. Any help? Thanks ahead of time!

    Hope this helps you out, I got it from a book I own which is listed below. Copyright is 1993, it may be out of print by now. If this isn't enough information try finding the book, some libraries may have it you'll just have to check.


  2. The Illinois Central Historical Society may be able to help you with this. Their web site is:

    http://www.icrrhistorical.org/

    You can also try the directory of world wide web sites found at:

    http://www.nmra.com

    This is the web site for the National Model Railroad Association. They have links for everything railroad related, not just models, someone else may have that info.

  3. I will admit I am not a know-it-all on the IC, but you might have some luck visiting Canadian National Railways Website @ www.cn.ca, since they bought out the IC several years ago,

    Im sorry that I cant help you out much, but look at the maps for the CN/IC at CN's website. I am sure they are going to be able to help you.
