I normally don't bother to note the many commuter stations that used to exist on the Chicago railroads, including the belt lines. But this correction is worth saving.

| Dave Ladislas Sr. posted I am looking for any info or old pics of a depot that used to be in Harvey,Il.,at app. 151st./Broadway st. near Thornton HS.This picture taken in mid 70's or so says it was a GTW depot.I thought the B&O was next to depot w/GTW tracks next to that.Any info would be appreciated. Thank-You. Bob Lalich The depot in the photo was B&OCT. Here is a 1981 photo taken by Doug Davidson. The GTW is to the left past the pole line and weeds. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dwdavidson/22262609843/in/album-72157621253157284/ Dave Ladislas Sr. If you go on Satellite view and follow the tracks to Blue Island you can see the remnants of all the old factories that used to be there and the spur lines.That was a booming area when I was a kid.We used to ride our bicycles along there to BI all the time. |
