ELBURN—Elburn has been recognized as a Train Town USA by the Union Pacific railroad.
A representative from the railroad on Monday presented the Village Board with a commemorative coin and a reflective sign to recognize 150 years of partnership between the railroad, first named the Chicago-Galena line, and the community. He explained that the line that runs through Elburn is one of the busiest in the nation—second only to North Platte, Neb.
The combination of freight trains and commuter lines contributes to approximately 120 trains each day.
