Dennis DeBruler commented on Mark's post It looks like it was just south of the building that has a red roof. It is interesting that I can't find a grain elevator. https://clearinghouse.isgs.illinois.edu/webdocs/ilhap/county/data/mcdonough/flight2/00ry1b083.jpg |

John Carson posted two photos with the comment: "THEN AND NOW: The Colchester CB&Q Railroad Depot in August, 1955, and today. December 9, 2023. Sorry, the "Then" photo s not the best and has two creases. What is interesting is that the front of the "bargain center" building has not changed much since 1955. It can be seen directly to the left of the depot in the "then" photo. In 1955, you could still catch a passenger train here going east or west! Click on photos to enlarge. EnJoY! JCC"
