| Patty Peterson posted LaCrosse Depot (1979 Historic Sites and Structures of Hancock County) [Given that the depot was gone by 1938, the date must be 1879 instead of 1979.] Kam Miller shared LaCrosse, Illinois, was a spot on the Toldeo, Peoria and Western, about 5 miles southwest of La Harpe, Illinois. At one time, a grain elevator was there, as well as a siding. Now, the siding is there for storage of cars, but everything else is long gone. The tiny general store featured in the photo book about the TP&W at Lacrosse, is also gone, it's roof having collapsed in years ago. |
It is not very often that a 1938 aerial photo is too new to show a depot. But the grain elevator in the photo is still standing in 1938.

The photo shows that the depot was just west of where the siding joined the mainline, so I think we can still see remnants of the footing.
