Chicago, IL Depot: B&O 76th Street Depot

David Schnell posted two photos of a depot that was along the B&O Brookdale Spur:

The consensus of the comments is that the caption was wrong and that this depot was in a little triangle of land on the northeast corner of Euclid and 76th, and it was cleverly called the 76th Street Depot.

In the following aerial, I indicated where the depot was with a red rectangle. The yellow rectangle shows the position of a diagonal building that still exists and the RoW behind it still belongs to nature.

  1. I have a Southeast Economist newspaper story from 1940 about the old 76th Street B&O depot building occupied by the Track Dept. Foreman and his family as tenants !
