Marion, IL: C&EI and IC Depots

C&EI: (Satellite)

One of two in Marion IL. Now the Lions club.

This is along the UP/MoPac/C&EI tracks. A streetview also indicates the location of the building. On the trackside, you can see where the bay windows were for the agent's office. I'm glad someone converted a depot to an "event center." I assume the other depot Susan has in mind is the former IC depot. It is now the office of the Crab Orchard & Egyptian Railroad.

The Illinois Central Railroad Depot in Marion, Illinois. 1975
[The comments explain how it was rebuilt after a fire in June 1977 so it is nice to have a photo of what it looked like before the fire.]
