All railroad accidents between 1911 and 1966 are recorded at:
http://specialcollections.tasc.dot.gov/scripts/ws.dll?login&site=dot_railroa
ds
that you can search and read about. I did a quick search between 1930-1950
and only found the following accidents near Lisle: Naperville in April 1946
and Downers Grove in April 1947.
