| John LaRochelle posted Late 1930's photo of train #111 The Banner Blue Limited high balling past the then Orland, IL. (Orland Park) depot. The lower quadrant train order board indicates no orders for #111, but orders for northbound trains. |

| Bill Molony posted The Wabash depot at Orland Park, Illinois - April 1909. Jimmy Fiedler: Chicago & Strawn design last one to exist is in Worth IL Richard Fiedler: Jimmy Fiedler I’m going to say categorically at the completion of the line between Chicago and Strawn in 1879-80 every town originally had this spartan 18’x36’ depot design that was indigenous to this route only. You’re right Worth has the only survivor and it’s a private home now. Bill Molony shared to Chicago History Dave Ladislas Sr.: Great pic! Back when the Palos/Orland area wasn't much of anything. Franco Carcelli: Dave Ladislas Sr., moraine mostly. Richard Fiedler: Built by the Wabash St Louis’s construction entity the Chicago and Strawn RR in 1879 measured 18’x36’. This same design was replicated on every town on that line. Torn down about 1962 and replaced by a sheet metal depot and bunkhouse. Bill Molony shared to Illinois History |
