Well the Steward, Illinois depot received a facelift since I was here last year!It looks good both inside and out! I hope they put the name back on it too.Nice to see it maintained. So many of them disappeared.

| Dennis DeBruler answered Pauly's question It has been relocated because the agent's bay window faces the park instead of the tracks. I'd say it was moved about 30' northwest to make room for the realignment of Main Street through town. 1939 aerial photo Tom Lichty: Dennis DeBruler, and it now sits on a concrete foundation. |
The grain elevator west of the depot disappeared but the two that were east of the depot grew into a CHS elevator.

Milwaukee used to go north/south along the west side of town.
