Bernice, IL: Lost/Pennsy (Panhandle) Depot and Brickyards

(Satellite, probably the northeast quadrant of the tracks and Bernice Road.)

Larry Candilas commented on a post
There was up on Bernice Road on the PRR called Bernice up until the 1920s

I include the two brickyards as well. This is a reminder that a lot of bricks were made in Chicagoland. One reason was the Chicago building code after the 1871 fire. Another reason was the many clay deposits left by different lake levels.

Since the depot was unused after the 1920s, it appears it was removed by 1938.
