A typically crappy Chicago winter day, but this 1979 photo at Hawthorne highlights the antiquity of the IC by this time pretty well. Note the fixed train order hoops are still in place. My photo.
Christian Goepel That building was constructed circa 1892 as the Hawthorne depot and served the IC Addison suburban service until 1931. Love the old station signs are still on the building in your photo.

Zoomed in on the "ironman."

Cicero "L" Station by George's Record's in 1961

Layne L Litwin: Its the former Cicero Avenue station at 21st Place, east of Cicero Avenue The platform was so short between Cicero and 47th Court that the morning and evening commuter train cars at the back stuck past 47th and you had to walk between cars to the front of the train to get off... hence it's move to the west of Cicero Ave years later.

Greg Inciardi: That station still lives, in Huntley, at the Illinois Railroad Museum.
