Norfolk & Western abandoned the Wabash route south of Chicagoland to Gibson City. According to my 2005 SPV Map, the segment between Risk, IL and Gibson City is owned by BLOL = Bloomers Shipping Connecting Railroad

The building to the north of the depot was probably their freight house. It appears that area has been rebuilt by BLOL as an engine servicing facility.
