  • The Historic Deerfield Train Station
    TH E HISTORIC DEERFIELD TRAIN STATION Deerfield, IL www.deerfieldlibrary.org 2018 text: Dylan Zavagno The first train station in Deerfield was built in 1871 by the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific Railroad, known as the Milwaukee Road, which, as the name suggests, connected Chicago to the West on its main line. The first station was a simple boxcar located near Central Ave. Before train travel came to Deerfield, you’d have to take a horse and buggy to Chicago—or walk to the Highland Park train station. today appears it as station The Deerfield had long been a resting place for travelers between Chicago and Milwaukee. John Kinzie “Indian” Clark, would stop in the area on his Chicago-Milwaukee mail route, which followed Waukegan Rd., an old Native American trail. An early Deerfield settler, Lyman Wilmot, was an abolitionist whose home was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Wilmot’s son reflected on the hangec to the town the railroad brought, writing in a diary entry on New Year’s Eve, 1874: “Now as I write the shades of the last evening...are gathering fast, the sky is cloudy & as I look out of the east windows of the dining room & About the author see the smoke from the engine of a long freight train rising as a cloud as Dylan Zavagno is the Adult Services Coordinator at the Deerfield ublicP Library where he hosts the Deerfield the train rushes on up the grain, we are now in a living moving world & Public Library Podcast, featuring interviews authors, artists, and other notable people.

I appreciate the Montana Department of Transportation’s (MDT’s) efforts in updating this plan— particularly by continuing to examine alternatives for enhancing passenger rail service in Montana. And while Chapter 4 discusses both the Empire Builder and the possibility of reinstating passenger rail service in southern Montana, my comments focus on the latter, as I take it as a given that the continuation of the Empire Builder will remain a priority for the state. In addition, my comments relative to the restoration of passenger rail service in southern Montana boil down to one main point: the two-tiered Amtrak study requested by MDT is inadequate to address the true feasibility of reinstating passenger rail service through southern Montana due to its limited focus on intrastate service. This appears to be largely a function of the original scope of work assigned to Amtrak by MDT, as described in section I.A of Amtrak’s Feasibility Report on Proposed Amtrak Services in Southern Montana (Amtrak Report). Let me elaborate. The Tier 1 analysis focuses on Billings to Missoula. Given (i) the meager projected ridership along this route, (ii) the capital investment necessary to put this intercity line into service, and (iii) the fact that the state of Montana would be responsible for a significant amount of the initial capital outlay and ongoing operational costs, it is extremely unlikely that this limited route is a feasible undertaking.
