Chicago & Alton Railroad Depot in Shirley, Illinois shortly after its construction in 1909.

Larry Candilas: Had to be early 1909 because the tracks were lowered into a cut during the summer and fall of 1909 leaving the station up high and a long flight of stairs down to the tracks. Depot lasted until 1975 when it was moved to neighboring Funks Grove.

Michael Ryan: 18 steps, LOL.

Dennis DeBruler: I think I found it:

It looks like you can see the path that went down from the south side of the depot to the tracks.

This shows that people could use some stairs.

David Elliott posted two photos with the comment: "This is a picture of the depot at Shirley,IL.  The depot sat at the top of the railroad cut and got to track level by going down the stairs.  The second picture shows the stairs and the shelter trackside.  Also note the bridge in the background and while you cannot see all of there is a signal on top of the bridge."

This is the Chicago and Alton depot that was in Shirley,IL but was moved several years ago to Funk Grove a few miles down the road.  It closed in 1971.

The local grain elevator also supplies fertilizer.
