1923 – 100 Years Ago Due to a freight car being derailed this morning near Belvidere the Sycamore train on the North Western was held in DeKalb for several hours. It was scheduled to leave DeKalb at 8:50 a.m., but did not leave until word had been received from Belvidere to the effect that the road was clear. Interurban cars suffered in making the trip this morning and were delayed in several places by the snow and slippery rails. The large sweeper went out and cleared the track of snow, which made passage better for a while, however, the snow kept falling and drifts were prevalent in several places.
