Marty Bernard Typical CB&Q look.
Andy Puch Still there and now serves as Illinois Railnet/Railway offices.

Illinois Railway has done a nice job of preserving it as an office. Unfortunately, the dumpster is stored on the track side of the parking lot.

Mike Landers: Was this on the south side of river Strong- Strong had a elevator there ?
Think they tore it down in the early 80s.
Dan Rosier: Mike, yes, just south of Rt. 71.
Kevin Moe: road to the left, suicide hill to Marcy st.
