C&NW Depot: (Satellite, 13th Street extended and north of the spur's remnants.)
Cargill: (Satellite)
M&StL = Minneapolis & St. Louis
The C&NW/M&StL went east/west, and the CB&Q went north/south. Both railroads were gone in the next topo map that is available, which is 1982.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on the above post The entrance to Cargill now goes over the depot's land. Note how much the mouth of Pope Creek has moved. 1938 aerial photo https://clearinghouse.isgs.illinois.edu/webdocs/ilhap/county/data/mercer/flight9/00rt312708.jpg |
I presume the building between the curved C&NW mainline and the spur into town was the C&NW depot.

I got a couple of Federal aerials before I remembered that Illinois has their own. Since I got the aerials, I include them. I started with 1975 because it had better resolution. Note that the mouth of Pope Creek has already moved south. And Cargill has built their truck-to-barge grain elevator.

But I could not find any depots, so I went to the oldest photo they had. The resolution is good enough that you can see both depots.
