The former Illinois Terminal System Railroad Depot is now a private residence. The owner did the restoration of the depot. The last train passenger ran on March 2, 1956. Sometime after that the depot was moved away from track side to its current location which is about a half block from the tracks. The front of this building that faces left in the photo faced the track in the original location.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
