| John Stell posted IC-TP&W Gilman depot with southbound IC passenger train Date 2-18-19 unknown photographer. John Stell collection. Thomas Dyrek: I don't think the date is correct. This depot was demolished in 1909 to make way for the current one. |

Some of several photos posted by Eric Berg with the comment: "In case some people haven't seen these...photos from 1935 and by John W. Barriger III."
[I think he was eastbound on the TP&W. A, c and b were taken as he rode on the back of the train from west to east and are looking West. They must have stopped in town so that he could take d, which on the west side of town looking East.]

| John Stell posted IC-TP&W Gilman depot on 11-3-04. John Stell slide. Randy Smith and I wonder what date TP&W moved into this depot and closed the office in the old freight house? John Stell posted IC depot at Gilman also had agency for TP&W. It housed TP&W agency from 1967 when I went to work on TP&W. Someone posted the TP&W freight house had a TP&W operator. Not sure when that would have been. John Stell slide on 11-3-04. [The comments discuss the agents who used to work here.] John Stell posted |
The vacant land in the above photo used to have the TP&W freight house.

| Andy Zukowski posted Kendel Robinson: Beautiful picture! But it seems odd that you can’t see any tracks or the diamonds? The IC at this date had at least three tracks that crossed the TPW by the depot if not four. Dennis DeBruler: The building on the left looks like it would be the TP&W freight house.

Greg Borgwald posted three photos with the comment: "Gilman, IL, 8-12-82."
Charlie DeWeese: That office was in the depot in the northwest quadrant of the crossing when I broke in there for a couple of days in 1958 or 1959. I was told that a tower had existed there before the CTC was put in..
Kerry Powell: Been there many times. Operator controlled signals from Gilman to Otto. TP&W crossed the IC there also. [all black panel] [His punctuation of the "all black panel".]
Charles Tapper: A mix of US&S and GRS equipment.
Jon Roma: The US&S panel was apparently put in the depot first; a couple years later, they closed the tower that sat in the SW corner of the IC/TP&W crossing, and that was replaced by the GRS panel.

This support building must have been built since 2004.
Mort Goddard: TPW didn’t run that many trains in the 60’s when I worked there but I will never forget the TPW running the atomic train which you better not stop. It was armed with gaurds also and ran at a reduced speed.
