Some, seeing earlier posts of the Chicago Great Western through Sycamore, Illinois, have asked about the north/south Chcicago and North Western line through Sycamore. This is a photo of the C&NW station and freight house in Sycamore taken on August 19, 1933 by A. W. Johnson (George Krambles collection). This line ran north to and past Belvidere, Illinois and south to Spring Valley, Illinois. this building still stands in very good shape in Sycamore.

Its Dec 1962 photo above at Sycamore IL freight house .I went back a few years ago to match up what it looks like today as a office building.

The C&NW sent north/south through this town. The CGW was the east/west route through town. And the CGW had a branch that went down to DeKalb. All of these routes are now abandoned.
