When Depression era Illinois Traction was in financial distress and had to reorganize, the Illinois Terminal name was adopted to reflect the line's primary money making role as a freight interchange link to major steam railroads at its terminal ends, Peoria, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri. Freight operation continued but was hobbled by tight street running in some towns requiring very sharp radius turns. In 1986, ITR was absorbed by a consortium of connecting railroads. For auction is a common stock certificate for 100 shares in the ITR, dated September 20, 1954. The stock measures appx 12x8 inches and is printed on mid-weight paper.
