    This is the back cover of the first C C C & St L company timetable issued after the Cairo Division was folded into the Illinois Division - date of the timetable is June 25, 1933. Note that the E I & TH is now back in the combined division, while the NYC line from Danville to Chicago is gone and has been handed over to some other division. On the division officers page, I note that H. F. Milligan is the Illinois Division Superintendent, while E. M Kelley (the former Cairo Division Superintendent at Evansville) is now the Assistant Superintendent at Mattoon. Trainmasters are located at Terre Haute, Mattoon, Ashby, and Mount Carmel. Interesting sidelight - there are Chief Dispatchers at both Mattoon and Evansville. This is common even today - when divisions are consolidated on the major railroads, it often takes a little extra time to move the dispatchers to the new location.

    The Danville Sub was added to the Western Region, Western Division Main Line. Then in 1937 the seniority rosters were merged with Western Div., Kankakee Sub. and Western Div. This allowed the Danville crews into and out of Englewood Yd. and the 3K crews into and out of Elkhart Yd.
