Wayne once had four railroads, including an Illinois Central Railroad (IC) mainline, a Chicago & North Western Railway (C&NW) branch line, an Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway (EJ&E) mainline and the Elgin Branch of the Chicago, Aurora & Elgin Railroad (CA&E). Today, the IC and EJ&E are owned by Canadian National Railway, while the C&NW is owned by Union Pacific Railroad. The CA&E has been converted to the Illinois Prairie Path.
