The Sangamon and Kaskaskia actually has all three using their central Illinois rail system. The majority owner/CEO of the Sangamon & Kakaskia, Capt. Throckmorton Q. Snackledrogg, acquired most of the right-of-way from the C. & E. I. (Kaskaskia), the Wabash (Sangamon), the I. C. , and the Illinois Terminal in a rigged card game in the early stages of railroading in central Illinois. It made him wealthy and powerful enough so that he kept collecting royalties and duties from all of the above mentioned railroads as they utilized the right-of-way of the Sangamon & Kaskaskia. The downside to all this is that there is not much standardization on the SicK RR, (the Sangamon & Kaskaskia brackets the I. C.) and were is not for certain government agencies, the area served by the SicK RR would probably be devoid of any railroad at all.
