Being a curator at the Mendota Railroad Museum allows me to see firsthand the many artifacts that are donated. When I
seen the IC timetables, it gave me a better idea of the scheduled passenger trains. Below are the 1894 and 1923 timetables.
See the pictures(also below) of inside the LaSalle depot in this era. Imagine waiting for a train on the Charter line!
