Louisville, IL: Lost/B&O Depot

B&O Depot, Louisville, Illinois.
Photo of the former B&O Southwestern at the small town of Louisville, Illinois.
This town is located on the B&O branch that ran from Beardstown to Shawneetown, Illinois. The B&O referred to this town as Louis so as to avoid any confusion with Louisville, KY. Very little trace of this line exists here today. Photo taken 5/20/68 by Barry Lennon

The grain elevator on the left is where  the bins in the above photo used to stand.

This is the elevator that is in the right background of the above view.

Given the cross street in Andy's photo, I think it is the rectangle that was south of the tracks and west of Chestnut Street.
