Reynolds, IL: Lost Rock Island Depot

(Satellite)

Retro Quad Cities posted two images with the comment: "Yes, the railroad did go through Reynolds, Illinois at one time.  This depot served the Rock Island and Mercer County RR, and later the Rock Island Southern Railway Co.  The station's location is indicated by the red arrow on this 1918 map of the Rock Island RR."

I'm guessing the one on the left is a feed mill.

Context: The Abandoned Westchester Avenue Railroad Station
Information: The abandoned Westchester Avenue station is a former railroad station located in the Longwood section of the South Bronx, near Westchester Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard. Built in 1908, the station was designed by prominent architect Cass Gilbert, who later used similar decorative terra-cotta details in his design for the Woolworth Building. Passenger service ended in 1937, and the station has remained abandoned ever since, gradually deteriorating into a severely damaged ruin.
The structure is unusual because part of it is suspended above Amtrak’s busy Northeast Corridor. The taller entrance hall stands on solid ground west of the tracks, while the shorter waiting-room section extends over the railroad on steel beams. Staircases once led from the station down to low-level platforms beside the tracks, but those stairs and platforms were removed many years ago.
The station’s exterior still contains colorful glazed terra-cotta ornamentation, including a caduceus near the roofline with the letters “NYH.” This likely refers to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, which built the station, although the same symbol was also used by the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway, which also served the location. By 2009, the building was considered dangerously unstable. Of Cass Gilbert’s other surviving Bronx stations, Bartow was also abandoned, while Morris Park and Hunts Point were later reused for other purposes.
Thanks for reading follow for more!

Train Depot Tuesday, 
3/24/26, Tuesday, Marietta OK 
While returning from visiting relatives in Texas I took the Interstate 35 route so I could stop at few train depots along the way
One of my stops was the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe (GC&SF) Depot built in 1913 in Marietta, OK.
Though there were plans to possibly rehabilitate the depot it appears there has not been any progress to begin restoration.
Hopefully the depot will be restored soon.

Ardagh Dunkirk Glass Plant


While looking for the freight house, I found this plant. Anything today that still has a smokestack is worth noting.
Street View, Oct 2024

The plant makes glass bottles.

I wonder if these bottles in the museum were made locally.

Much of  Panhandle has been abandoned, but NS kept the track to Dunkirk.

I'm sure the glass plant is why the route to Dunkirk has been maintained. I wonder what the hoppers hold. I'm guessing sand.

This is the second time in two days that I have found a "smokestack industry." The second was the paper mill in Grand Rapids, MN.
