Edwardsville Eyes Illinois Terminal Link to Troy
Edwardsville residents back the Illinois Terminal extension to Troy to connect with the St Louis Troy and Eastern. Promoters, led by E H Conrades and chief engineer C W Roehrig, toured Edwardsville with a route plot and section details. Roehrig called the plan logical and inevitable, with timing undisclosed. A direct Troy to Edwardsville line would benefit the county seat.
