Tazewell and Peoria Railroad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tazewell & Peoria Railroad (T&P) (AAR reporting mark TZPR) is a short-line railroad formed by Genesee & Wyoming to lease the assets of the Peoria and Pekin Union Railway. It started operating on November 1, 2004. The P&PU track straddles the Illinois River at Peoria, Illinois, making the T&P an important transportation link for industrial sites such as the Caterpillar plant in East Peoria, Illinois.
