  • Illinois Indiana
    Comparing and Contrasting Illinois and Indiana Name: _________________________ Illinois Located in the Midwestern United States, Illinois is known as the Land of Lincoln because Abraham Lincoln made the state capital, Springfield, his home for many years before he was president. Illinois became America’s 21st state on December 3, 1818. It borders Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Kentucky. Its northeast coast borders Lake Michigan, making it one of the Great Lake states as well. Illinois is largely grasslands and prairies. The Mississippi River forms its eastern border and the Ohio River forms its southern border. Chicago is the largest city in Illinois and the third largest city in the entire country. It is nicknamed the “Windy City” because of the harsh winds that form off of Lake Michigan and streak through the city in winter. Chicago’s Sears Tower was once the tallest building in the world. With over 12.5 million people, Illinois is the nation’s sixth largest state by population. Its state bird, the cardinal, is also the state bird of six other states. Indiana Indiana became America’s 19th state on December 11, 1816. It is nicknamed the Hoosier State. The origin of the word “Hoosier” remains unknown, but today it refers to a citizen of Indiana and has been in use since as early as 1833. Indiana is located in the Midwestern United States and borders Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and Kentucky. Its northwestern coast borders Lake Michigan, thus, making it one of the Great Lakes states as well. The Ohio River forms its southern border between it and Kentucky.

ALTERNATE FORMATS: RELATED HOLDINGS: ACCESSION 2007.0184 NUMBER: NOTES: HISTORICAL SKETCH Indiana settlers chose to name several rivers "Monon" after the Potowatomi Indians' words metamonong or monong, which meant "tote" or "swift running." Soon thereafter, a town near these rivers in White County, Indiana was christened Monon, Indiana, and it was here that two major lines of railroad eventually crossed. One railroad, established between 1847 and 1853, ran from New Albany, Indiana to Michigan City, Indiana; the other, which formed an X with the first in Monon, Indiana, was an "airline" which ran from Indianapolis, Indiana to Chicago, Illinois. Because of this crossing, the railroad running from New Albany to Michigan City was eventually renamed "Monon–the Hoosier Line." The Railroad has played a part in important events throughout Hoosier history, such as the Civil War, the passage of the Lincoln Funeral Train, and the limestone construction industry. Sources: Materials in the collection. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This collection contains materials regarding the Monon Railroad, including a color print of the railroad, as well as papers and a historical packet from the Monon Railroad Historical- Technical Society.

  • INDOT – INDIANA STATE RAIL PLAN Passenger Rail User Group Interview Questions
    INDOT – INDIANA STATE RAIL PLAN Passenger Rail User Group Interview Questions GENERAL INFORMATION Date of Interview: October 16, 2020 Subject Name: Indiana Passenger Rail Alliance Location: Indianapolis (Interview via webex) Subject Representative: Steven Coxhead, President QUESTIONS 1. What does your organization do? How many employees and/or members does your organization have? We’re a volunteer nonprofit organization. We reach about 1,800 people through our publications. Our mission is to persuade the state to embrace passenger rail, and expand passenger rail travel options, including city to city, intrastate, commuter, and transit services. Our focus is on promoting corridors using conventional technology with travel speeds of 80 to 100 miles per hour. That’s an easier lift, technologically and financially, than establishing bullet train-type high speed rail services. Our goal is to encourage the state to support and establish modern passenger rail systems similar to those found in other parts of the United States. Our initial focus is on reinstating the Hoosier State corridor between Indianapolis and Chicago. We don’t get involved in political campaigns. We like to publicize what’s possible and what’s happening, and get support for public policy initiatives. 2. What makes people in Indiana decide to take a passenger train instead of driving or taking a bus or something else? What conditions would be necessary to convert more trips to passenger rail trips? Highway volumes continue to grow on I-65. Whenever new lanes are added, they fill up and congest immediately. Truck traffic is heavy on I-65. The traffic continues to grow and create constraints and inconveniences for drivers.
