Kirkland, IL: CM&G Depot

(Satellite, it is now a residence)


The Milwaukee Road that went through town. But the CM&G went south of the town and used a spur to access the town's business.

David J. Norvell: The building was a residence even before it was a depot. Built in 1850 by Greenhow, I believe it did not become a depot until after 1900. A lot of history there.
Tyson Park: David J. Norvell So strange that the CM&G would have done a long backup move to access the station from its "mainline" to the southwest.

Dennis DeBruler commented on Jimmy's post
he comment about backing up was confusing until I saw a map.
