In 1917, the Rock Island Railroad served the Beverly Hills area of Chicago, Illinois. The Rock Island had built a branch line, known as the Beverly Branch, to serve the communities in the area. The original line dated back to 1869.

Peter Jirousek: Yes just past the PRR Panhandle line. And within view of B&O’s line to Chicago’s Grand Central Station. Imagine the Capital Limited drifting by…

One of the Rock's only two Fairbanks Morse H15-44. Built in Dec.1948 and both were repowered with EMD engines.
Jeff Lewis: There don't appear to be northbound platforms at that time.
Stuart B. Slaymaker: Most of the Subn Line stations only had a platform on the west side, in front of the station. 95th Street was an exception. The platforms on the east sides, have been since the RTA/Metra takover in the late 1970s.

It appears the dormer in the north roof has been removed.
