St Charles, IL: C&NW Branch, Depot and Freight House

(Satellite, southwest quadrant of Walnut and 1st)

A lot of industries were established along the Fox River because of the water power. The C&NW had a branch line that went North along the river and terminated at a depot and freight house in St. Charles. The C&NW also had two branches that went south along the Fox River.

The following maps and photos were provided as comments on a post.

Dennis DeBruler commented on "map a."
The building that was built on the former railroad property has a façade that makes it look like a series of old buildings.
