Larry Foht posted Chicago Milwaukee St. P & P Railroad Depot and Train Freeport Illinois Larry Foht collection : Carol Datt Mattar: Thank you for posting this. Years later my parents would take us there to watch the passenger train come in just after watching the IC passenger train a few blocks away. We also left from here to take the overnight Milwaukee Road train to Kansas City to visit relatives. John Cook: Freeport, in the early 1900s was second only to Chicago in Illinois when it came to trains arriving and leaving. |

Edward Weber posted five photos with the comment: "I added some more pictures of the abandoned Milwaukee Road Depot in Freeport, Illinois. Such a shame. I left from this depot many times in the sixties to see my grandparents In Lanark, Illinois."
