When my Dad had to work and couldn't go with us, my Mom would take me on the Northwestern 400 from Evanston, IL, to Monico, WI, to go fishing at my uncle's cottage in the North Woods. Like "Popp's", I always thought the C&NW would be around. If you want to see a double-decker car from the 400, go to the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, WI - and if you're lucky enough, it'll be on a day when they have rides on that car.
The Illinois Railway Museum Has three bi-level C&NW cars, two coaches and a coach/cab car. AND they have a C&NW F7 diesel engine. So, they put these together as a very nice three-car train.
*_Chicago's very own BIG WB Ogden._* West through the town of Austin. Then with permission of Oak Ridge's first family the kettlestrings, town of Harlems Ashable Steel. The first railroad bridge over Aux Plains River, natural gateway opening to the Americas Great Midwestern Plains. Now I can see why Wheaton got its name, wheat.
The alternative was Milwaukee road following Grand Avenue the old Whiskey Point Road. Out to where Sandy Ridge crossed Armatage av. LeClaire & that Grand old indian trail out to casanovia Just passed the aux Plain River Where River Grove lies today
You know you're history. Because railroads are where some of the oldest human planted trees still exist today, West Chicago has a holiday collection of trees. Specifically 150 old ash trees I've been protecting against Emerald Ash Borer.

I grew up sitting and watching the C&NW and in joyed it. Just always thought it would be there.

@@trainliker100 , hi, and thank you. I'll have to go see that sometime soon, maybe this summer.
@@annw.6085 The Illinois Railway Museum is a BIG place. Vastly more than the museum in Green Bay. Plan to spend an entire day. At least one day.
@@trainliker100 Thank you! I will.
My dad used to take me to the Clybourn stop to watch the CNW conmuter scoots!
At 17:32, there is the Quaker Oats plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The UP passenger train rounding that curve is also at the same location.
I understand the official name is the Chicago and North Western Railway.
As at 17:41.
I think that the first telegraph line went in A LOT sooner than the 1880s

Reminds me of the early days of Bit Coin.
Cheap and Nothing Wasted!
Cigars & No Whiskey
Never heard that one

KATE!
A little fact, diluted with a lot of melodrama.
This brings back the days of the late 40's Chicago Railroad Days!
Turner Junction
Today it's West Chicago.
@@DjFreemode , There was also a turner bowling alley and Turner where River Grove Illinois exists today
