Kam Miller My guess is Burlington or a joint depot as I believe you are looking at the Burlington tracks in the foreground and down the Wabash to the right side of the photo.

Dennis DeBruler It looks like it is a union depot because it was built on an angle so that it did not favor the east/west Wabash. Nice grain elevator in the background.

Dennis DeBruler CB&Q went in a pretty straight line between Hull and Rockford, then it turned southwestish. You can see it enter this 1939 aerial photo in the middle of the top:
