Meadowlark (train)

The ''Meadowlark'' was a streamlined passenger train operated by the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad between Chicago, Illinois and Cypress, Illinois. It operated from 1946 to 1962. The ''Meadowlark'' was the C&EI's last train to Southern Illinois.
== History ==
The ''Meadowlark'' was one of two new streamliners introduced by the C&EI in late 1946, the other being the short-lived ''Whippoorwill'' which served Evansville, Indiana. The C&EI billed the train as a "Chicago-liner" and promised "quieter, smoother, roomier lounge-car luxury." The new streamliner made the journey from Chicago to Cypress, Illinois in seven hours. The train departed Cypress at 5:15 AM, arriving at Chicago's Dearborn Station at 12:25 PM. Five hours later the train began the journey back to Cypress, arriving after midnight. Writing in 2006, railroad historian Joe Welsh called the ''Meadowlark'' "inviting" while noting that the destination of Cypress was "obscure." On the train's first anniversary the C&EI claimed total ridership of 150,000 passengers and that the train had "girdled the globe 10 times in her daily travels."
In the early 1950s the ''Meadowlark'' continued south to Joppa, on the Ohio River, but by the middle of the decade it was cut back to West Vienna, Illinois, north of Cypress. The C&EI discontinued the ''Meadowlark'' altogether on January 5, 1962, ending the railroad's service to Southern Illinois.
