  • The Alton Railroad (reporting mark A) was the final name of a railroad linking Chicago to Alton, Illinois; St. Louis, Missouri; and Kansas City, Missouri. Its predecessor, the Chicago and Alton Railroad (reporting mark C&A), was purchased by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1931 and was controlled until 1942 when the Alton was released to the courts. On May 31, 1947, the Alton Railroad was merged into the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad. Jacob Bunn had been one of the founding reorganizers of the Chicago & Alton Railroad Company during the 1860s. Main lines included Chicago to St. Louis and a branch to Kansas City. The former is now part of Union Pacific, with Metra Heritage Corridor commuter rail service north of Joliet (owned by the Canadian National Railway but used by UP). Today, the Kansas City line is part of the Kansas City Southern Railway system. (en)
  • Alton Railroad (sigle AAR : A) est le nom final d'un chemin de fer américain de classe I reliant Chicago (Illinois) à Alton, Saint Louis et Kansas City (Missouri) aux États-Unis. On l'appelait également l'"Alton Road".Son prédécesseur, le Chicago and Alton Railroad (C&A), fut racheté par le Baltimore and Ohio Railroad en 1931 qui en assura l'exploitation jusqu'en 1942. Le 31 mai 1947, la compagnie de l'Alton Railroad a été absorbée par le Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad. Les lignes principales sont constituées par la liaison Chicago - St. Louis, et par un embranchement vers Kansas City. La ligne vers Alton et Saint-Louis est de nos jours en partie incorporée dans le réseau de l'Union Pacific tandis que la ligne vers Kansas City fait partie du réseau du Kansas City Southern Railway. La ligne de Metra assure des services de navettes de banlieue sur l'ancienne ligne principale entre Chicago et Joliet, désormais propriété du Canadien National par le biais de sa filiale, l'Illinois Central Railroad.
