The Midwestern state of Illinois, known as the Prairie State, is
not known for its varied topography, but this mostly flat land was
indeed very conducive to the construction of railroads. It is
located at a place where east meets west as railroads interchange
huge amounts of traffic at Chicago, the railroad capital of the
nation. Because it hosts smaller industrial cities and huge
agricultural areas in the northern and central parts of the state,
combined with coal, petroleum and other natural resources in the
south, it's no surprise that today the 'Land of Lincoln' is
criss-crossed by 7,151 miles of rail lines. Illinois is also at the
centre of the nation's rail network, and an incredible variety of
railroad companies can be seen traversing the state. Through a
collection of incredible colour photos, Mike Danneman takes the
reader on a tour of the railroads of Illinois - from Chicago to
Chester, and from the tunnel at East Dubuque to the high bridge at
Metropolis.
