Chicago Great Western Railway Links and Information

Here you can find information and links to several great websites which are either based on or feature the Chicago Great Western. The reason why this information was not included on the previous page highlighting the CGW was simply to keep things more nice and tidy for you, the visitor.

Anyway, I have visited all of the websites below and can attest to their worth. If you are after information and/or pictures about the CGW, you shouldn't be disappointed after visiting these websites!

Chicago & North Western Historical Society: The official historical society keeping alive the CGW's rich history (the organization includes the CGW since it became an affiliate of the C&NW). They have a wealth of preserved information on the railroad and if you are ever interested in joining, as with all historical societies, they can always use more members!

The Unofficial Chicago Great Western Website: A great resource if you're interested in the CGW, includes lots of photos and information.

Chicago Great Western Information: Similar to the above website this web page also covers the CGW in some detail although it has not been updated in several years now.

CGW Photo Archive from RRPictureArchives.net: Another fine website that includes galleries of most fallen flags, including a large collection of CGW photos.

CGW Photo Archive from George Elwood's Fallen Flags Website: In my humble opinion, the best archival database of fallen flag photos on the Internet.

Also, if you might be interested please visit, and consider joining our American Rails Forums; a family-friendly community where there are plenty of knowledgeable folks to help answer any questions you might have.

Lastly, feel free to search the web or American Rails conveniently from the Google search box below if you're after more information on the Chicago Great Western. As always, if I can be of assistance in any way please do not hesitate to contact me!
