Here is a neat little depot that belonged to the Wabash. Roger Puta shot this Monticello. IL depot on July 22, 1962.

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.
