Chicago, Indiana and Southern Railroad

The Chicago, Indiana and Southern Railroad was a railroad that operated in Illinois and Indiana in the early twentieth century, formed in 1906 from the consolidation of the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa Railroad and the Indiana Harbor Railroad, and it also owned the capital stock of the Danville and Indiana Harbor Railroad. Its own stock was wholly owned by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway and the Michigan Central Railroad, both part of the New York Central system, and a 1907 report called it a tributary to the Lake Shore. It ran two lines totaling 301 miles, a north to south line between Indiana Harbor and Danville, Illinois, and a line from the Spring Valley coalfields at Seatonville, Illinois, to South Bend, Indiana, before it was one of several railroads consolidated into the modern New York Central Railroad in 1914.
