| Roger Kujawa posted Chicago Rock Island and Pacific depot at La Salle, Illinois. Just to the left of the steam loco was the Burlington Route depot on the branch to Streator. My brother and I would hang out here while mom went visiting relatives. Harold J. Krewer Boarded the Rockets there many times. In later years, after the depot in Peru closed, the station was renamed LaSalle-Peru. On the pictured (east) end the depot was lettered "LaSalle-Peru" but on the other (west) end of the building (the end facing Peru) it was lettered "Peru-LaSalle." Depot still there and well-maintained. Was a lawn mower/small engine business for many years but recently sold and will become a privately-owned art gallery/museum. Ed Brown Cool picture Roger. Any idea what year? Note the extended platform across the westbound main. A unique depot, waiting room on top level. You had to board trains by walking down stairs. I believe there is another set of stairs on the inside. |

| Andy Zukowski posted Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific (Rock Island) EMD E8(A) at La Salle, Illinois photo by Robert Jordan in 1973. Nhat Quan V. Do: What's the factory complex in the left background? Andy Zukowski: Nhat Westclox Craig Sanders: Andy Zukowski is the factory now condos and/or apartments? Michael O Shea: Craig Sanders Business, restaurants, distillery and entertainment center. Davis Shroomberg: Craig Sanders The central portion of the Westclox factory burned on January 1, 2012 due to arson. The oldest portion is as Michael O Shea says, and the distillery and entertainment is said to be top notch. The newest portion of the former Westclox complex, the southernmost portion that was along the railroad tracks, remains industrial. |

| Harold J. Krewer commented on Andy's post The CB&Q Depot in LaSalle would have been slightly behind and to the left of the photographer, it sat on the north side of the tracks at Creve Coeur St Here is the LaSalle depot, taken in 1980 from almost the same spot as the F units, only turned around.
