Greetings from Union, Illinois

For obvious reasons, the Museum is now closed to working members as well as the public.  This means that there won't be any projects to report on for the near future.  When things change, of course, we'll let you know.

That means there won't be much to blog about, either.  But we can always find something.  For instance, our friend Bill Stewart sent us this marvelous postcard.  Of course, this is one of the other Unions in Illinois.


So please keep those cards and letters coming!

How many Union, IL are there?

I think there are three. The one in McHenry County where IRM is located is the only incorporated one, if I'm not mistaken. Then there's the Union north of Lincoln, through which the IT passed, and I believe there's also a Union located along the Illinois River near Havana.

Frank- The one near Havana is Enion, although perhaps it was called Union in the past. There is also Union Hill, near Kankakee, and Union County all the way in the south end of the state, home to the Anna-Jonesboro electric interurban line.
