The Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway (reporting mark EJE) was a Class I railroad, operating between Waukegan, Illinois and Gary, Indiana. The railroad served as a link between Class I railroads traveling to and from Chicago, although it operated almost entirely within the city's suburbs, and only entered Chicago where it served the U.S. Steel South Works on the shores of Lake Michigan. Nicknames for the railroad included "The J" and "The Chicago Outer Belt Line". At the end of 1970, the EJ&E operated 164 miles of track and carried 848 million ton-miles of revenue freight in that year alone.

  • L'Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway (sigle AAR : EJE) est une compagnie de chemin de fer de classe II qui opère dans la périphérie de Chicago. Il sert de lien entre les chemins de fer de classe I du nord-est de l'Illinois et du nord-ouest de l'Indiana. Ses surnoms incluaient « The J » et « The Chicago Outer Belt Line ». Il fit partie des chemins de fer américains de classe I.Le 26 septembre 2007, le Canadien National annonça son intention de racheter une majorité du EJ&E et de ne laisser qu'un petit tronçon de ligne dans l'Indiana qui serait réorganisé sous le nom de Gary Railway. Le rachat fut approuvé le 24 décembre 2008 par le Surface Transportation Board, et son application fut effective le 1er février 2009. (fr)
