The Chicago Aurora and Elgin (CA&E, the \"Roarin\' Elgin\"
or the \"Great Third Rail\") was an interurban line that operated
passenger and freight service between Chicago and Aurora,
Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles, and Elgin, IL. The railroad also
operated a small branch to Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Hillside
and owned a branch line to Westchester.
Andy’s fine illustration depicts a bright 400-series car
boarding at perhaps Wheaton Station. The trains were
powered through third rails except in yard and other situ-
ations where overhead trolley lines were used.
Wounded by increased use of automobiles after WWII,
the CA&E abruptly ended passenger service in 1957.
Freight service was suspended in 1959, and the railroad
was officially abandoned in 1961. Most of the right-of-way
has since been converted to the Illinois Prairie rail trail. railroad art prints by Andy
available now at fixed prices.
