Die Illinois Central Electric Railway (ICE) war eine Interurban-Bahn im Fulton County im Westen von Illinois, westlich der Stadt Peoria.
Die Bahngesellschaft wurde am 9. Oktober 1903 gegründet.[1] Die Strecke führte von Lewistown nördlich nach Farmington und hatte einen Abzweig von Norris nach Fairview. Die Bahn wurde wie folgt eröffnet:
- 1909 Canton–Brereton–Norris
- 1910 Norris–Fairview
- 1911 Norris–Gilchrist–Maplewood–Farmington
- 1912 Lewistown–Bryant–St. David–Dunfermline–Canton
Die Bahn verlor den Konkurrenzkampf gegen die Straße und wurde am 25. Juli 1928 stillgelegt und abgebaut.[2]
