The route was an indirect successor to the Rock Island's ''Peoria Rocket''. == History == Prior to the creation of Amtrak Peoria was served by the Rock Island's ''Peoria Rocket''. Then in serious financial distress, the Rock Island opted out of Amtrak in 1971: the company decided it was cheaper to keep running its remaining passenger trains than to join Amtrak. The ''Peoria Rocket'' and the ''Quad Cities Rocket'' continued running until December 31, 1978, providing one round-trip each day between Chicago's LaSalle Street Station and both Peoria and Rock Island, Illinois via Joliet, Illinois. With the demise of the Rock Island Peoria's nearest railroad connection was at Chillicothe, Illinois, to the north, where Amtrak's ''Lone Star'' (Chicago-Kansas City-Houston) stopped daily. The ''Lone Star'', however, fell victim to budget cuts and was discontinued in October 1979. The ''Prairie Marksman'' began on August 10, 1980, as a joint venture between Amtrak and the state of Illinois. Eschewing the Rock Island route, the ''Prairie Marksman'' used the old GM&O line between Chicago and Chenoa, Illinois, and then traveled west over the Toledo, Peoria & Western to East Peoria. The name was derived from a TP&W freight train which once operated over that route between Webster, Illinois and Keokuk, Iowa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=American Railroad Freight Train Names 1948 )〕 The ''Prairie Marksman'' ended on October 4, 1981, after Illinois withdrew its support for the train. The train carried an average of 65 passengers per day, well below the 150 needed to justify a continuation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prairie Marksman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
