When Metra owns the tracks such as the old Rock Island and Milwaukee routes, then I'm sure Metra owns the depot. But when UP owns the track, I don't know who is responsible for the maintenance of the depots. Thus the "or bar" in the title.
Bill Molony posted The Chicago & North Western depot at Elmhurst. Bill Edrington Does anyone know when this depot was replaced?Bill Molony As far as I know, it was demolished in the early 1960's.Bill Edrington Thanks. It was certainly gone by the mid-70s, as were most of the old depots on the West Line.Jeff Bloomdahl When was the 3rd track added? |
Jeff Bloomdahl commented on the above posting Jeff Bloomdahl Found this picture as well as a description from another angle! "Detroit Publishing Co. photo of the Elmhurst, IL depot, taken between 1880 and 1899. Elmhurst is a stop on the West Line to Geneva, IL, Clinton, IA and Omaha. It was a stop for through as well as commuter trains. The depot has been replaced." |
