The Illinois Terminal Railroad Company (reporting marks "ITC"), known as the Illinois Traction System until 1937, was a heavy duty interurban electric railroad with extensive passenger and freight business in central and southern Illinois from 1896 to 1956. When Depression era Illinois Traction was in financial distress and had to reorganize, the Illinois Terminal name was adopted to reflect the line's primary money making role as a freight interchange link to major steam railroads at its terminal ends, Peoria, Danville, and St. Louis. Interurban passenger service slowly was reduced, ending in 1956. Freight operation continued but was hobbled by tight street running in some towns requiring very sharp radius turns. In 1956, ITC was absorbed by a consortium of connecting railroads.

  • イリノイ・ターミナル鉄道(報告記号:ITC)、1937年まではイリノイ・トラクション・システムと称していた、とはイリノイ州の中央部と南部で1896年から1982年まで大規模な旅客輸送と貨物輸送を行っていたインターアーバン(都市間電気鉄道)である。大不況の際、イリノイ・トラクションは資金繰りに行き詰まり、再編を余儀なくされ、ピオリア、ダンビル、セントルイスなどの主要な蒸気鉄道のターミナルを結び貨物の相互連絡を行うという当初の会社の目的を反映した名前として「イリノイ・ターミナル」という名前を採用した。インターアーバンとしての旅客輸送は徐々に削減されていき、1956年には終了した。貨物輸送は続けられたが、小半径の急曲線を通過しなければならない狭い併用軌道区間がいくつかの町にあったことが障害となっていた。1956年にITCは接続鉄道の連合体に合併された。 (ja)

  • L'Illinois Terminal Railroad (sigle de l'AAR:ITC) était un chemin de fer de classe I; connu sous le nom d'Illinois Traction System (ITR) jusqu'en 1937, c'était un chemin de fer électrifié interurbain très actif, dont le service voyageur et marchandise s'exerça dans le centre et le sud de l'État de l'Illinois de 1896 à 1982. Lors de la Dépression, l'Illinois Traction System connut une crise financière qui l'obligea à se réorganiser sous le nom d'Illinois Terminal Railroad; ce nom fut adopté car il était représentatif du rôle d'interconnexion qu'il jouait avec d'autres chemins de fer à vapeur dans les gares terminus de Peoria, Illinois, Danville, et St. Louis. Le service voyageur interurbain diminua progressivement et s'arrêta en 1956. L'activité fret se poursuivit mais fut handicapée par l' (fr)
