Texas City, IL: Big Four Depot and Old Gas Pump

(Satellite, the additional lanes for US-45 are probably on the depot land)

I saved this photo because of the old gas pump. Then Bill's comment made me realize that the building on the left was the Big Four depot. Note the train order semaphores.

Has anyone else got pictures of Texas City formerly Texas Station. I believe it was originally on the Vincennes Cairo railroad north of Eldorado Illinois. This is the only one I've found.
Bill Edrington: It’s the only one I’ve ever seen. By the time this picture was taken, the railroad would have been the Cairo Division of the Big Four (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway).
