Canton
Illinois Central Electric Railway
The scene shows the American Car Company builders photograph of Illinois Central Electric Railway interurban #17 taken in 1912.  This interurban along with seven other interurbans (and ten other cars) would operate out of Canton, Illinois on a 33-mile long electric interurban system that operated between Farmington through Norris and Canton to Lewiston, with a branch from Norris to Fairview, between 1912 and 1928 (the original equipment was gasoline motor cars.)
