Kevin Piper posted The north end view of Milwaukee's depot and freight house at Joliet, IL, in 1-77. Martin O'Connor Wasn't it incorporated into Joliet Auto Parts? It was basically a salvage yard and auto parts business. I think I was there at least twice, but don't remember whether any part of the original building remained. |

1939 Aerial Photo from ILHAP |
Update: If you click on this 1966 aerial photo near the top middle, you can see the white roofed building next to a diagonal track. The photo also shows how the CM&G paralleled the EJ&E into Joliet. You can also see the I-80 bridges have been built over the railroads and Rowell Avenue, but the roads have yet to be built.
Bill Molony posted Milwaukee Road GP9 #237 and its bay window caboose at the Joliet yard during a layover in the spring of 1976. |
James Boudreaux posted Please clarify, is that the Milw. Rd. (CM&G) rails shown at the bottom L/S that travel up past the west side of Michigan Beach? Newly built I-80 east/west overpasses shown. |
Bill Molony posted The Milwaukee Road yard in Joliet, looking southward in May of 1966. This yard was south of Washington Street and immediately east of the EJ&E main line. Dennis DeBruler shared The north end of this yard (bottom of photo) is where it joined EJ&E for the trackage rights to Aurora. |
Martin O'Connor A couple of spurs are still indicated in Google Map view, north of the lake.

Christian Goepel posted two images with the comment: "Recently acquired a CMStP&P station valuation map of the former CM&G at Joliet. Original valuation occurred in 1916; this version was corrected to 1935. Capture shows the former CM&G immediately south of East Washington Street, including the freight house."
