| Bill Molony posted This is a circa 1915 post card picture of the Big Four depot at Bloomington, Illinois. From the Blackhawk collection. Bill Molony posted Ned Carlson: The train in the background is LE&W. They had their own station but later combined with the Big Four/P&E. Ken Morrison: Where was this, and where was the LE&W station? I know that in the end, Big 4 was using the C&A station, so when did they retreat to there? Did the Nickel Plate still have passenger service when that move was made? |

Another colorization. This artist removed the telephone poles.

| David Elliott posted This is postcard of the Big 4 depot. This depot was not used as of the end of 1957-58. P and E switched to the Alton depot then. Dennis DeBruler shared |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on his share I think it is interesting to see how different artists colorized the same photo to make a postcard. Roger Kujawa posted: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=3565856066783063&set=gm.1377014739321037 |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Bill's post So the "red building" was the depot and the yellow one was the P&E freight house. I'm speculating that the blue one was the NKP/LE&W freight house. A 1940 aerial photo |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Bill's post They were doing maintenance on the former freight house in Sep. 2011. |
