Depot: (Satellite, east of the tracks halfway between 1st and Division Street.)
Old Elevator: (Satellite, west of the tracks and a little northish of 1st Street.)
It has a siding, but it is single ended and not very long. And I could not find a "fall protector" in this street view, so I don't think it is rail served.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Tim's comment Your view appears to be from Division Street, https://maps.app.goo.gl/EjQX1SejQo3Z4g5G7. I think it was taken from a platform for the depot from a little northish of 1st Street. The depot itself was a little southish of 2nd Street. I'm trying to figure out if the grain elevator is out-of-frame to the left or if it didn't exist when the photo was taken. 1939 aerial photo, https://clearinghouse.isgs.illinois.edu/webdocs/ilhap/county/data/kankakee/flight2/0bwv01044.jpg Michael Clark: Dennis DeBruler The depot was between Division and First streets. I lived at 38 N. Oak (since demolished) from 1966-82. Tom Snodsmith: Dennis DeBruler Tim's view is looking at Main street which would make that the location of the giant wood corn crib that was on Main street between 2nd and 1st. The crib/elevator is the dark structure you see in the ariel photograph. The depot is on the other side of the tracks (Oak St) south of 1st. The ariel is before any current storage at the Farmers Elevator. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Tom's comment So it was the "black blob" on the aerial on the east side of the tracks halfway between Division and 1st. Looking closer, I see the grey of the roof, and the black part is the shadow That means this topo map was correct, and I should have paid more attention to it. 1953 Peotone and 1964 Bradley Quads @ 24,000 |
