Lombard has long benefited from railroad transportation throughout its history, for both passenger and freight services, having been served by the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, the Chicago Great Western Railroad, and the Chicago, Aurora, and Elgin Railroad.   

Please join Brian and Joyce Ostberg, creators of the BeHistoric YouTube channel, to learn the story of Lombard's many railway stations during the 19th and 20th centuries - how they flourished, how they shaped the community, and how many of them were eventually abandoned.
