| Andy Zukowski posted Chicago and Alton Depot, Hopedale, Illinois. C1910 photo from the James Woodruff collection. Mark Stoeckel: Located on the “Jack Line” Bill Edrington: It was the Chicago & Alton depot in 1910. Harlan Hannah: Does anyone know where the depot was located? Richard Fiedler shared |
 |
| Dennis DeBrule answered Harlan's question Given that the grain elevators were on the south side of the tracks, it would have been a half-block northeast of Main Street, https://maps.app.goo.gl/HqerJGUh89MgYGWT9 |

| Bob Kalal commented on Andy's post Hopedale has TPW Caboose 501 [No street view driver went downtown nor along the former tracks.] |
 |
| Bob Kalal commented on Andy's post also southwest of town this great looking Chicago and Alton, Illinois Central Gulf Railroad, IC bridge |
 |
| John Woodrow commented on Bob's comment The same bridge is called Oredorff or townhall road bridge built 1889 (Edward Wayne Bridges Photo) |
This treeline is the old right-of-way of the C&A. The bridge is on the right side of this treeline.
