Hol - Much appreciate the cleaned-up Shabbona image. Sure looks better! I'll tag the image as Train No. 51 thanks to your time table research. You are a great resource of information. One comment on the folded-up coupler for the newer members in our Group. This was done to prevent "impaling" a horse and wagon or buggy on a grade crossing and forcing them beneath the pilot most likely resulting in a derailment at speed. I've seen the same folding coupler design on the early Class P Atlantic type locomotives, too. With the coupler folded up, if anything was hit at speed on a grade crossing it would most likely be deflected by the pilot to either side of the right-of-way. Best Regards - Louis

Louis:


Attached is a cleaned up and slightly cropped version of the image.  Given the information you have provided and using March and November 1914 public timetables (the only 1914 ones I have), the train is most likely No. 51, the Northern Pacific Express, which departed Chicago at 9:30 a.m., Aurora at 10:28 and ran non-stop through Shabbona to Rochelle, arriving at 11:40 a.m., and finally reaching Minneapolis at 10:55 p.m.  No. 51 and its eastbound/southbound counterpart, No. 52, the Atlantic Express, were electric lighted and equipped as follows:  "Between Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis, standard drawing-room and tourist sleeping cars, first-class high-back-seat coach and smoker-coach.  Chicago to St. Paul and Minneapolis, observation sleeping car, chair car and dining car."  Oddly, that appears to be two different though similar equipment listings for the same train.  Whatever the case, Q No. 51 connected at St. Paul with NP No. 3, which departed St. Paul at 10:30 for Seattle and Tacoma, connecting at Spokane with SP&S No. 3 for Portland.  Leaving Chicago on Monday morning at 9:30, one arrived in Seattle at 11:00 Thursday morning.  On the through train equipment listing, the following is shown:  "Chicago to Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, through standard drawing-room and tourist sleeping cars to Portland, connecting en route with through standard and tourist sleeping cars to Seattle and Tacoma, coaches, smoking car and dining car.  Chicago to St. Paul and Minneapolis, observation, standard drawing-room and tourist sleeping cars, chair car and dining car." 


The only other westbound/northbound train through Shabbona near mid-day was daily-except-Sunday all-stops local No. 19 which left Chicago at 8:00 a.m. and reached Shabbona at10:47 and terminated at, of all unlikely places, Flag Center, at 11:31 a.m.  Its eastbound/southbound counterpart was No. 22, leaving Flag Center at 5:20 p.m. and reaching Chicago at 9:00 p.m.
