| Arifa Chowdhury posted CB&Q 9228 and 9208 street running scene in Sterling, IL, no date but in the 1960's. Don Ball Jr Collection. Greg Reynolds: With the white license plates visible on 3 of the vehicles, the oldest the photo can be is 1965. That's the first year of white plates. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Richard's comment In this 1956 aerial, it appears to be between 2nd Street & the tracks and east of Locust St, https://maps.app.goo.gl/ifPiNvXkjUsLf9ty6. The depot does not appear in a 1977 aerial. It is about a block south of the extant CB&Q depot, https://maps.app.goo.gl/bf1AqJhtnTfMibax6. [ARA550330151404] |
I started with the usual Illinois state aerial photo. But I could not find it. So...

| 1939 Aerial Photo from ILHAP |
...I got a 1977 aerial because it had good resolution. Unfortunately, the depot was already gone. So I got the 1956 aerial. Fortunately, it is rather obvious on that photo. And once I knew where it was, I was able to see it on the 1939 aerial.
