Fortunately the Wabash depot had a gable over the bay window of the agent's office so that the shadow is rather unique in the aerial photo. The depot was on the east side of the tracks between Man and Marion Streets. NS has retained a segment of the branch to Chicago. The retained segment runs between Gibson City and its mainline at Bement.

| Noah Haggerty posted Wabash F7A #1189 poses outside the Wabash depot in Monticello, IL on September 16, 2023 during Railroad Days. The depot was built in 1899 near Marion Street in town serving trains to and from Chicago. The Monticello Railway Museum, who north of town operated on the former ITC, purchased the Illinois Central Gulf trackage into Monticello in 1987 and moved the former Wabash depot to the ICG tracks the same year. Soon restored, it is now used often for special events and weekend trains for the museum. |
