The
Chicago Terminal Railroad began operations on January 2, 2007, on former
Canadian Pacific industrial trackage known as the C&E Line. Subsequently the
railroad has added two additional switching operations. The first one in Elk
Grove Village on the Union Pacific Centex Industrial Park trackage and the other
one in Bensenville on the Canadian Pacific Bensenville Industrial Park trackage.
The railroad is a subsidiary of Iowa Pacific Holdings, LLC. Reporting marks are
CTM.
Motive power is provided by Independent Locomotive Service and includes two end cab switch engines and a geep. Typical of ILS motive power, the locomotives are painted maroon with yellow lettering. The colors are inspired by the colors of the University of Minnesota since ILS is based in that state.
