GM&O: (Satellite, a guess based on the aerial photo below.)
Bill Molony -> RAILROAD HISTORY BUFFS OF ILLINOIS The Santa Fe station at Coal City. The original Santa Fe station in Coal City burned down in 1920. This is the station that replaced it. |
It still exists and is used by the BNSF maintenance crews. By finding the Santa Fe depot on a satellite image at the end of Church Street, I was able to find it on a 1940 aerial photo (green rectangle below). But the location of the GM&O depot (yellow rectangle) is just a guess.
