Pekin, IL: Chicago & Illinois Midland Depot and Freight House

(Satellite)

This street view was specified in a Facebook comment for the C&IM brick depot.

I moved the street view to get a view of the side and noticed the caboose and cars down the road.

So I went down the road.

Hi guys - this is a John & Roger Kujawa shot  in 1986. Any idea why these 2 were stopped at the depot? No crew onboard. Thanks

The Chicago & Illinois Midland depot at Pekin, IL. Don't have an exact year, but probably sometime during the 1970's. The Illinois Central is on the close track, while the C&IM had the far side. John & Roger Kujawa Photo, Thomas Dyrek Collection.

And I went even further down the road because it looks like this was a freight house. The track for that siding is now isolated.
