"And as time goes on, electric railroad enthusiasts will visit the right-of-way over which the original construction work was done -- And some of the more imaginative individuals will hear the deep-throated whistle of a big palatial interurban as its spirit still streaks along this romantic pike, and they will catch a glimpse of the golden inscription CHICAGO on one end of the car as it flashes by,
and NEW YORK on the other end -- hurrying, hurrying -- for 36 years have passed since it started on its swift way and it hasn't reached either place."
-E.J. Quinby, 1943

"Once I built a railroad, made it run,
Made it race against time;
Once I built a railroad;
Now it's done. Y. 'Yip' Harburg/Jay Gorney
