The former New York Central depot in Momence is now owned by Bill and Phillis Munyon, and has been restored and preserved at its original location next to active railroad tracks.


Eric Berg posted several photos concerning the NYC in Momence. They include the tower, but I'm going to post them all here to keep the collection intact.
