Woodstock and Sycamore Traction Company

The Woodstock and Sycamore Traction Company was a short-lived interurban railroad that operated from 1911 to 1918 between the cities of Sycamore and Marengo, Illinois; it never reached its intended destination of Woodstock. Its headquarters and repair shop were in the city of Genoa, midway on the route. The 26.5 mi track was never electrified, due to lack of funds, so gasoline-powered cars were used. Three 55 ft McKeen cars were purchased, but the large cars proved unsatisfactory; they were replaced by two smaller Fairbanks-Morse cars.
