Railroad - I have an old piece of rail that my grandfather used as an anvil.

Question

It has raised letters that say "ILLINOIS G". Does anyone know what this means?

Answer

I would guess "Illinois Grand Trunk Railroad" just because that is the only name I have heard that starts with "Illinois". According to one website, the name was used by several corporations.
