Olmsted, IL: 1872 Preserved/NYC/Big Four Depot and NYC Caboose

If you are here because of "Bureau Junction, IL: IAIS/Rock Island Railyard," then you need to go there.

Depot: (Satellite)
Caboose: (Satellite)

I've driven through Olmsted a few times to check out the Olmsted Dam. I'm a little surprised that I didn't notice these items on one of those trips.

Bart's fourth photo is here at the top to provide the signature photo for the notes. Trees blocked this trackside view in the street views.

As your fifth photo shows, they have also preserved a caboose, https://maps.app.goo.gl/xtHhzQ7kZJdw3caT7.

    Looks like there is no Route 29 overpass now.

      That's because you are looking in a different direction. I'm not saying it isn't there, I'm just saying that whether it was or wasn't you wouldn't see it as it would be out of view in this picture.
