Description
The Chicago & Illinois Midland Railroad (C&IM) traces its roots to 1886 when the village of Pawnee built a connection to the Illinois Central Railroad (IC). Ir was purchased in 1906 by Chicago Edison to transport coal to its Chicago power plants from the Illinois Midland Coal Company, hence its name. The C&IM was sold to local investors in 1987, In 1996 the Genesee & Wyoming purchased the C&IM and renamed it the Illinois & Midland (I&M). The I&M operates today 154 track miles and interchanges with a number of lines.
Items from the C&IM are not often found, but I offer for auction an employee pass for 1931-1932. It was issued to an officer of the Groveton, Lufkin & Northern Railway. The pass measures appx 4 x 2 1/2 inches and is printed on a linen paper. It is in very good condition, with no rips or tears. All writing/markings are from its issuance and use.
