Decatur, IL: 1855-1901 Union Station

(Satellite, it was in the southeast quadrant)

This depot was replaced by the Wabash and IC depots at the beginning of the 20th Century.

Decatur's Union Station before the IC and Wabash stations were built. Sat, I think, basically across the IC from WABIC tower.

Herald-Review
1921: An old Decatur landmark, Union Station was built in 1855, and was torn down Oct. 16, 1901. It served the Illinois Central and Wabash Railroad until each of the railroads built its own station. (H&R file photo

Note the octagon control tower in the foreground of the above two photos. The following photo confirms that this station was across the tracks from the WABIC tower and thus it was in the southeast quadrant.
