| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post The building in the northwest quadrant of the tracks and Main Street was too big to be this depot. Was that a freighthouse? I presume the depot was the building at this location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/eMjZqNzXfZiSzAHR7 1939 aerial |

| Andy Zukowski posted Illinois Central Gulf's former IC Depot at Green Valley, IL in December of 1983. This was on the line between Peoria and Decatur. The Depot has since been razed. Steven Hooker shared Richard Fiedler shared |
In the aerial photo below, there is a grain elevator about another block southish and on the other side of the tracks. It has grown considerably, but it is not rail served.

A USGS map labels the railroad as Illinois Central. But Illinois Central was sold to CN. This IDOT map confirms that the route is owned by CN.

Update:

| Richard Lipsky posted On the back it says Green Valley IL Rob Woodrow: If it’s Green Valley it’s either the CN&W or the GM&O the Illinois Central comes through town on a curve. If that’s an interlocking light in the distance it’s the GM&O because nothing crosses the CN&W at Green Valley. |

| Tim Howard commented on Richard's post Hard to tell, looks like a rough platform for depot on right (photographer's viewpoint) with passenger train approaching (from South Pekin?) |
 |
| Dennis DeBruler commented on Rob's comment That explains why I could not reconcile the IC depot with the grain elevators along the IC route. When I got this bigger 1939 aerial that includes the C&NW on the left and the GM&O on the right, the C&NW has a depot and grain elevator on opposite sides of the track. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Rob's comment But they are on the wrong side of the tracks to agree with the photo. Is it possible the photo was flipped? |
