| David Cantrell posted The Broughton, IL L&N depot in 1911 and 1921. The first photo is from the Illinois Annual Railroad and Warehouse Commission Report. I took the second one in 2021. Jacob Hortenstine: How does one access the Illinois railroad commission photos are they on line? David Cantrell: They are contained in some of the reports on hathitrust.org. This link will get 206 results. The later reports in Illinois have a different title and not all are accessible. search link [I could not make it work.] You can download single pages in pdf or a jpg form or take a screen shot of anything that you are interested in. There is a ton of railroad related history information remaining on the site. Google books has old schedules too. https://books.google.com/ Nick Jochim: Any idea who owns the property? David Cantrell: I asked around and someone said they lived in Florida. |

The topo map accurately depicts this depot.

The grain elevator is across the street from the depot. All of the street view drivers just went through this town. None of them did the side streets. It looks like five of the bins have been torn down.
