Historical Context
The roots of this company go back to the Peoria & Pekin Terminal Railway Company, which was originally incorporated as the Peoria & Pekin Traction Company on August 5, 1897, to build and operate a terminal system in and between Peoria and Pekin, Illinois.
The company began operating electric interurbans on December 14, 1899 from Hamilton and Adams Street in Peoria south to South Bartonville (where the company's office, shop and powerhouse was located). Service was extended to Pekin on April 3, 1900.
The company went into receivership because of financial problems on October 17, 1906, and was reorganized on December 17, 1906 as the Peoria Railway Terminal Company. It was sold under foreclosure on February 9, 1907 to the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad and the Chicago & Alton Railroad. When the C&A went into bankruptcy on August 3, 1922, the CRI&P took over completely.
