Champaign-Urbana
Illinois Power Co.
The Illinois Traction System
owned and operated the Champaign-Urbana streetcar system. After the
Illinois Power Company merged with the Illinois Traction System, the Illinois
Terminal Railroad was formed to operate the interurban service and the
Illinois Power Company took over the streetcar system in Champaign-Urbana
(however the Illinois Terminal continued to use the streetcar trackage
and facilities for years thereafter).
