I was reading a book the other day with the story set at the time of the Great Chicago Fire, before 1906, possibly earlier......there was a reference to one of the characters riding the 'dummy train', an expression I've never heard before. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be - perhaps a suburban service of some sort?

Thanks
Barry
