Start[edit]

Written in US English with Month date#, year# date format. Measuring is 12.000 miles (19.31 km) - 12 feet (3.7 m) - 12 pounds (5.4 kg). "Tons" don't convert right and should be done manually. This blog is my background for the article. Moon Joon (talk) 18:19, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are no images. Ten or so exist, but I don't know Commons or copyright. The infobox needs something, at least.

The image of 26th St. is probably could be looking west. The IN would be on the left (south) side and the large building in the background could be IHC Warehouse #5. The Bridewell is over there too, but it's only four stories high. Edit add: or could it be looking north on Western and that bridge is the IN? Edit add add: OR with maps show N on Western but that's not RS. Moon Joon (talk) 00:41, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At least three maps exist. One early IN advertisement, a 1971 Railway Equipment Register one, and a private one with red highlights.

The history starts at 1901. There is nothing about why the Santa Fe line was there to start with.

The writing and grammar are lame. Moon Joon (talk) 18:19, 29 November 2021 (UTC) Moon Joon (talk) 15:09, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Illinois Northern Railroad?[edit]

@Moon Joon: Now that the hoax article which was previously at Illinois Northern Railroad has been deleted, do you see any reason to keep this page at its present title, or should it be moved to Illinois Northern Railroad? Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:59, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The years were only added to separate the two articles. Moon Joon (talk) 02:52, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In that case I will move this page to the title without the year disambiguator now. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:22, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
