Depot: (Satellite, it was north of the tracks and just east of the 100th Ave. used to be. The depot's land was used to rebuild the intersection of 100th with Peoria Street.)
In terms of signaling designs, the only thing older than a gate (nickname: smash board) is when they used to simply run into each other. A 1980 topo map shows the north/south GM&O/C&A route is gone but ICG has not yet torn up the IC route.
The grain elevator has expanded by building some big bins on the old IC RoW.

View is looking south on the GM&O. John Fuller Slide. David Kennedy: Very neat. check out the junction/phone box. would make a nice detailed diorama. thanks for posting. |

| Larry Candilas commented on John's post A 1939 aerial on what I learned was the P&N Branch of the GM&O. The Alton got the Springfield north part and the IC got the St Louis south part when Harriman manipulated the St Louis, Peoria and Northern into bankruptcy. That's why the Alton, GM&O called it the Peoria and Northern. |

I could not find it in Larry's aerial photo so I got my own with a higher resolution in New Holland. The rectangle west of the street crossing was not consistent with the roads in the photo, but the rectangle east of the crossing is consistent. It looks like a boxcar is parked just south of the depot.
