    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.

    ERTAC Rail Emissions Inventory Part 3: Class II and III Locomotives

    ERTAC Rail Emissions Inventory Part 3: Class II and III Locomotives Michelle Bergin, GA Environmental Protection Division Matthew Harrell, IL Environmental Protection Agency Mark Janssen, Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium Acknowledgments: Steve Sullivan, American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association David Powell, Genesee & Wyoming Inc. Dennis McGeen, Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality Lisa Higgins, Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection Laurel Driver, US EPA, Office of Air Quality Planning and Support Byeong Kim, GA Environmental Protection Division Introduction Air protection agencies from twenty-seven states, coordinated through the Eastern Regional Technical Advisory Committee (ERTAC) and headed by the Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium (LADCO), identified a need to better quantify and characterize rail-related emissions inventories. Traditional locomotives utilize large diesel engines, resulting in emissions of NO x, diesel PM, hydrocarbons, greenhouse gases, and other air pollutants. These emissions are sometimes concentrated in areas exceeding National Ambient Air Quality Standards. No cohesive nationwide railroad emission estimates based on local operations are known to have been made previously. Inventory development methods for locomotive emissions estimates vary from state to state and, in general, lack the spatial or temporal resolution needed to support air quality modeling and planning 1-5. The ERTAC Rail Subcommittee (ERTAC Rail) was established with active representatives from twelve member states, three regional planning offices, and the US EPA. The subcommittee’s goals are to (1) standardize agencies’ inventory development methods through a collaborative effort, (2) improve the quality of data received and the resulting emission inventories, and (3) reduce the administrative burden on railroad companies of providing data.

    Hoosiers and the American Story Chapter 5

    Reuben Wells Locomotive The Reuben Wells Locomotive is a fifty-six ton engine named after the Jeffersonville, Indiana, mechanic who designed it in 1868. This was no ordinary locomotive. It was designed to carry train cars up the steepest rail incline in the country at that time—in Madison, Indi- ana. Before the invention of the Reuben Wells, trains had to rely on horses or a cog system to pull them uphill. The cog system fitted a wheel to the center of the train for traction on steep inclines. You can now see the Reuben Wells at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. You can also take rides on historic trains that depart from French Lick and Connersville, Indiana. 114 | Hoosiers and the American Story 2033-12 Hoosiers American Story.indd 114 8/29/14 10:59 AM 5 The Age of Industry Comes to Indiana [The] new kind of young men in business downtown . had one supreme theory: that the perfect beauty and happiness of cities and of human life was to be brought about by more factories. — Booth Tarkington, The Magnificent Ambersons (1918) Life changed rapidly for Hoosiers in the decades New kinds of manufacturing also powered growth. after the Civil War.
