Section 100.120 Railroad Licenses
a) A railroad license shall be required for every club,
buffet, lounge or dining car on a railway operating in the State
of Illinois on which alcoholic liquors are sold or offered for
sale. Likewise, a railroad license is required for every such
railroad car to which deliveries of alcoholic liquors intended to
be offered for sale or sold thereon are made within the State of
Illinois, even though such offer for sale or sale will only be
made beyond the borders of the State of Illinois.
b) Only one application is required to be filed by each operator,
but the application shall state thereon, or upon schedules
submitted therewith, the names, numbers and classification of all
cars for which a railroad license is required as provided in
paragraph a above.
c) A railroad license shall be issued for each car described in
an application. Each license shall state the name, number and
classification of the car to which it applies. Such license shall
at all times be displayed in the car to which it applies in the
manner provided in the Act, or the railroad licenses shall be
maintained at the licensee's business premises in Illinois.
d) If during any licensing period any car for which a license has
been issued for any reason ceases to operate in or over the State
of Illinois and another is substituted in its place, a new
license will not be required for the car substituted, but the
operator must transfer the issued license from the licensed car
to the substitute car.
e) It is the intent and purpose of this Rule to require a license
for each car in which alcoholic liquors are sold or offered for
sale in or over the State of Illinois. Any operator who, by
reason of changes of schedules, additions of trains or equipment,
or otherwise, increases the number of cars for which licenses are
required beyond the existing number of licenses theretofore
issued to such operator during that licensing period, shall make
an application and receive a license for each added or additional
car.
f) A railroad license permits the sale of alcoholic liquors only
for consumption upon the train on which they are sold. No
railroad licensee or any agent or employee thereof, is permitted
to sell and deliver to any purchaser any alcoholic beverage in an
unopened original package.
