These are two of five pictures that Richard posted in
Facebook. Google's 2013
street view shows that the depot still exists but has been "downsized."
Update:
|
Bill Molony posted The Wabash Railroad depot at Sibley, Illinois. |
|
Brandon McShane commented on the above posting This depot is still there, though moved back from the track. |
|
Richard Fiedler commented on the above posting Colorized postcard from about 1905-1910. This shows the tricolor scheme implemented at that time. Also note the freight room since removed.

ILHAP [The rectangle at the top by the tracks and north of Ohio Street is probably the depot.]

The land the crib was on is now occupied by a regular grain elevator. This remnant of the Wabash Railroad is now owned by
The Bloomer Line.
And this town still has a traditional old grain elevator. (A corn crib is really old.)
