The town has changed too much to provide a meaningful satellite image. See the historical aerial below.

B&O Rochester Illinois |
The B&O right-of-way is now the Lost Bridge Trail just south of IL-29. IL-29 used to follow Main Street through town and Walnut Street was straight. I put a red rectangle where I think the depot was east of Walnut. After the B&O was abandoned, the state and town tore down all of the railroad related stuff, including the grain elevator, and built IL-29 straight through town on the new land.
