Hinsdale, IL: Metra/CB&Q Depot

(Satellite)

I suspect BNSF, instead of Metra, owns the building, but it is Metra that actually uses it as a depot.

Peter Jirousek: Maybe just 2 tracks back then.

I don't normally note Chicago suburban depots, but this one is still standing. Many of the old depots have been replaced. And I like depot photos with horse and buggies to remind me why railroads used to be so important. Also, I was surprised to see in the street view that there is still a platform roof for the outbound trains. Downers Grove lost theirs a long time ago.
