Illinois Central Post Card 2
Another post card from our family archive. I don't remember why I did not scan the back of this one.
Both of my grandparents went to the U. of I. in Champaign. So my hunch is they took the Illinois Central quite a bit.
I usually rode coach buses back and forth from the Chicago area when I went there. But once I took Amtrak. I was surprised how efficient the run from Champaign to Chicago was: fast and no time spent on sidings. In other words: very un-Amtrak.
