[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dconof Since Evanston railways are obviously your bailiwick, maybe you could help me uncover the history behind an artifact I found near downtown Evanston....it's a token that says "Evanston Railway Company" on it, with a large, curvy "E" in the center. I can't recall what is says on the reverse. It seems to be about the same size as a silver CTA token. Any thoughts? [/quote] Does it look like this?
