Depot: (Satellite, CP repurposed the foundation)
The yard has been reduced to a short siding. I don't even see a grain elevator in this town. There was a branch that went south on the west side of the town to the CM&G. The two Milwaukee routes crossed a little to the west, but the crossing was grade separated so the junction was south of Kirkland.

| Mark Llanuza posted Its May 1976 I'm at Milwaukee Road's Kirkland IL station on the D&I division . Its still double track to Savanna IL but this was the final year that it was double track as this was the they started single tracking the main line in sections .i'm looking southeast |
I tried finding the buildings in the background. I don't know why none of the street view drivers have not gone down Railroad Street. I don't think the background buildings still exist.
The depot seems to have been replaced by a MoW office.
