Freight savings and yard expansion at Illinois Central rail
In 1922 the Illinois Central promoted a Save a Million Dollars in Freight claim reduction campaign. Freight claims dropped by 1,216,694 dollars, about 49.6 percent, while locomotive and water service capacities rose over years. Plans include grade reductions on the main line near Champaign and Mag net North, plus construction to ease grade crossings. The Markham yard project near Chicago, costing about 6 million dollars, aims to create a large, modern freight and passenger terminal with a 4100-car capacity.
