[edit] Question
Was this market/routing originally called the Cannonball in Casey Jones' day? knoodelhed 11:27, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
The train name Cannonball does not appear in either Illinois Central public timetables or in the ICRR entries in the Official Guide of the Railways for the year 1900. It is possible that Cannonball was a nickname in local usage, but it was not an official train name. In many parts of the country, the generic term Cannonball was used to denote a fast train.
