	Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Elgin, Joliet and Eastern (AAR reporting mark EJE) is a short line railroad operating in Chicago, Illinois, and the suburbs around Chicago.
		The Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway Co. of Illinois was incorporated on March 18, 1887, and the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway Co. of Indiana was incorporated on April 13, 1887.
		The current Elgin, Joliet, and Eastern Railway was created on December 4, 1888 when the two rail companies merged together, and the new railway officially began operations on January 1, 1889.

	Joliet, IL
		Today Joliet is served by several railroads, as well as Interstate Highways 55 and 80, which intersect a few miles southwest of the city.
		The quarrying of limestone, with a bluish-white tinge, earned Joliet the nickname “City of Stone.” The Illinois and Michigan Canal was both a consumer of stone in the building of locks, bridges, and aqueducts and, after its completion in 1848, an artery for shipping stone to regional customers.
		Joliet's economy entered a period of decline in the late 1970s and by 1983 its unemployment rate stood at 26 percent.

		Elgin won in 1924 and 1925, while Dundee captured the title in 1938.In a total of 47 contests, 27 of them during the madness of state tournament play, Elgin won 39 and Dundee 8.
		Although the city of Elgin did not annex portions of the EJandE until 1962, local businessmen protested whenever the railroad was rumored to be considering dropping the word "Elgin" from its name.
		Elgin often mustered more Republican votes than Aurora, although it was always smaller in population, and resented the fact no Congressman was ever a resident of the Watch City.

		This was the "pay-off" for the efforts of the city's business leaders a century before to ensure that practically all trunk railroads passing through northeastern Illinois terminated in the city of Chicago.
		One local corporation, the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway, was later formed to create a huge belt line that circumnavigated the metropolitan area, handling traffic between locations on the periphery and diverting some through traffic around the congestion of the urban center.
		Shown but not individually identified are numerous short lines within the urban area built to exchange freight between the trunk railroads and to service metropolitan industry.

		Another opportunity is the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway (EJandE), a still-active but under-used right-of-way that circles the region roughly 35 miles from downtown Chicago, from Waukegan to Joliet to Gary, Ind.
		EJandE management has been open to discussions about greater use of its right-of-way, over which some 20 trains a day now shuttle coal to area power plants and the ingredients of steel to the railroad's owner, the USX steel complex in Gary.
