Hammond, IL: Lost B&O and Wabash Depots

B&O: (Satellite, south of the B&O tracks and just west of Don Ryan Street.)

Wabash: (Satellite, east of the Wabash and just south of the B&O Depot.)

According to the 2005 SPV Map, CSX still owns the B&O branch to Decatur, and the Wabash route was abandoned by Wabash. In other words, the Wabash route was abandoned before N&W took control.

Richard Fiedler posted two photos with the comment: "Hammond Illinois depots."

Wabash depot Hammond Illinois. This is an original Chicago and Paducah depot.

B&O depot Hammond Illinois.

The B&O route went east/west and the Wabash went north/southish.

Photo 2 above shows that the B&O depot was at the junction. And I think the bright white lines in the southeast quadrant of the crossing are the platforms and show that the Wabash depot was just south of the B&O depot.
