The one-time through Chicago-Cincinnati passenger route involving the CH&D
and the
Monon via Indianapolis lasted into the 1920s.
In the 1950s the Erie and Monon shared a passenger station in Hammond,
Indiana. At one point Erie and Monon had some passenger cars on display there, I
think as part of the Erie's centennial celebration.
The Monon sometimes borrowed "foreign" passenger equipment from the other
railroads that shared Dearborn Station (especially GTW cars) - does anyone know
if Erie or EL borrowed Monon cars? Or if the Monon borrowed Erie or EL
passenger cars?
Thanks.
