Separated out the Interurban lines that were in the “all” map and am making individual pages for them. Really.. I had no idea I hadn’t already done that. All of this started with the interurbans so I’m not sure what happened. This includes:
- AE&FRE – Aurora Elgin & Fox River Electric Company
- CAE – Chicago Aurora & Elgin
- CSL – Chicago Surface Lines (not really interurban but it is the grandfather of Chicago public transportation)
- CNS – Chicago North Shore. Added initial paths to existing stations. I’m sure it’s a mess especially around Great Lakes and the North Chicago junction as well as where it ran in Milwaukee
Version 05 – Npt sure I ever linked the various pages to it
Version 04 – Posted 17 June 2012
You can thank WTTW’s Jeffry Bear for mentioning this line in his show or I wouldn’t know to add it!

- added much detail to MILW
- MILW now includes former Gary Line [Illinois, Iowa & Minnesota Railway II&R and Chicago, Milwaukee & Gary Railway CM&G]
