West Chicago, IL: EJ&E Depot

Jerry Hund posted
A wood framed depot on the Elgin Joliet and Eastern serving West Chicago, Illinois. Built around 1908, it lasted until the EJ&E was acquired by CN in 2009. This station was used as a freight office when passenger service ended sometime after WWII.
[A reminder that at least some beltline railroads used to provide commuter service. I have skipped a lot of B&OCT depot pictures.]

Here's a photo of the former West Chicago Depot on the EJ&E.
Bill MolonyBill and 1 other are consistently creating meaningful discussions with their posts. That EJ&E depot in West Chicago was for the agent and was used to handle less-than-carload freight; it did not have a passenger waiting room because the "J" never operated passenger train service to West Chicago. The EJ&E depot in Plainfield was the only combination freight-and-passenger depot on the entire railroad.
