    Stainless steel streamlined passenger cars with roof-mounted glass domes were introduced to America in 1947 on this prototype "Train of Tomorrow". General Motors and Pullman-Standard collaborated to demonstrate to both the public and to the railroads what passenger travel would be like in the fifties. The Fall 1979 issue of Model Railroading magazine carried fe atures on how to model the locomotive and the four-car train using ready-to-run HO or N scale equipment with minor modifications. Since then, we've located a photograph of the "Train of Tomorrow" when it was still in its blue and stainless steel paint scheme. The train is on exhibit to the public at Albuquerque, New Mexico in about 1947. The entire train was sold to the Union Pacific in 1950 and repainted in their standard yellow and grey. The f6 diesels and streamlined cars were duplicated and sold to almost every class one railroad in America. Photo frolll the Gordon Bassett collection.

    Monon Plans No Tower Changes Monon Hearing on Trains Ends Obit

    January 10, 1940 Hammond Time Monon Plans No Tower Changes The Monon railroad does not propose to move towers from Fayette, Russell, Clinton and Douglas street crossings in Hammond. This was indicated by A. Anderson, chief engineer, who notified board of works and safety-members that the line will not undertake a project which the city will not approve, nor will the railroad violate any city ordinances in changing crossing protection. Residents became aroused recently when it was reported that the railroad planned to operate gates on two crossings from a single tower erected midway between the crossings. The company now is installing a compressor that will furnish air at a central point. Pipe lines are near completion. They will carry air to different towers and will spare towerman the job of operating hand pumps. Combining the operation of gates at more than one crossing has been marked with success in numerous cities, officials said. Monon Hearing On Trains Ends The Indiana Public Service Commission concluded evidence in the Monon railroad company‘s petition to discontinue two train runs between Chicago and Indianapolis at a hearing yesterday in Delphi, Ind. The commission announced it would take the petition under advisement and release a ruling in the near future. Most of the evidence consisted of remonstrances against the proposed discontinuance. The company presented its case to the commission at a hearing held in December. February 11, 1940 Hammond Times Obit Joseph M. Stephens, 42, resident of Hammond for 30 years and employed as a clerk by the Monon railroad, died at St.

    Inventory of the W.W. Embree DeKalb, Illinois Collection In the Regional History Center RC 2 1 INTRODUCTION Mrs. Waite Embree and Mr. George D. Embree donated the Waite W. Embree Collection to the Regional History Collections of the University Archives in March 1967. Northern Illinois University Archivist J. Joseph Bauxar and history Professor Earl Hayter brought this collection to the University, thus preserving the single most significant group of historical records documenting the heritage of the DeKalb area. In the spring of 1978 Mr. Bauxar transferred the collection to the Regional History Center. Property rights in the collection are held by the Regional History Center; literary rights are dedicated to the public. There are no restrictions to the collection. Linear feet of shelf space: 63.50 Number of Containers: 74 + 18 notebooks Northern Illinois Regional History Center Collection 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT Waite W. Embree and his father, Elmer E. Embree, preserved most of the historical materials generated by the family’s business and social activities. Waite, especially, collected a large volume of printed materials and photographs that relate to his main interests--the history of DeKalb and the history of railroading. It is important to note that Embree was a collector: indeed, in the absence of an active county historical society, Waite Embree filled a void in DeKalb County with his keen interest in the preservation of the county’s past for many decades. In keeping with the agreement concerning the donation of the collection to the University the integrity of arrangement by Embree has been respected whenever possible.
