I believe there was a post recently about Havana Illinois I found this picture in Illinois Central magazine January 1948 I think the question was was there any pictures of the depot.
Havana, Western end of the hack line! I have searched for a picture of the depot in Hallsville for years. Hallsville was the first town west of Clinton on the Hack.

It appears the Chicago, Havana and Western never got across the Illinois River so that this, in fact, was the western terminus.

[Comments indicate the date is probably around the turn of the century. Others were also surprised that there was a railroad bridge.]
