| Richard Koenig commented on Andy's post Very close to the same angle: here’s a northbound train on the Illinois Central main line at Arcola, Illinois. Apropos of nothing, the date happens to be the eve of the Bicentennial. Image by Richard Koenig; taken July 3rd 1976. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's post The IC Depot is now used by the Chamber of Commerce. That makes it a lot easier to determine the location of the depot. Jonathan Fischer, Sep 2021 |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's post It appears that the tower (yellow T) was in the northeast quadrant of the crossing and the Pennsy depot land (blue D) is now occupied by a house. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6856066,-88.3002834,2580a,35y,5.09t/data=!3m1!1e3 |
