I expect to be corrected, but here's what I remember as a TCZ passenger from
1944 until the end: Oregon always was a station stop; Rochelle as added,
Charlie Able told me, to attract Rockford business in the early 1960's. Route
51
was a better highway to travel than Illinois Route 2.
It was the C&I division across Illinois Aurora to Savanna, then the
LaCrosse Div.
The articulated TCZ trains of the gods and the goddesses ran in the
service until the vista-domed cars came late in 1947.
I don't ever remember seeing any big Mikes. It was always O-5
Northerns. WW II troop trains usually had a Hudson. Nubes
