Excerpt from Decisions and Opinions of the Railroad and Warehouse Commission: Of the State of Illinois 1889 to 1899 The petitioning company, the Chicago & Calumet Terminal Railroad Company, seeks by this proceeding a decision of this Commission under the act in force July 1st, 1889, compelling respondent, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company, to permit petitioner to cross respondent's tracks at a point in the village of La Grange, Cook county, Illinois, on grade. The point of proposed crossing is near fourteen miles out from respondent's Chicago depot. The prayer of the petition is resisted on the ground that a grade crossing at the point in question would "unnecessarily impede and endanger the travel and transportation" upon respondent's road.
