Rock Island Depot: (Satellite, north of the tracks and west of Spalding Street.)
Normally, a depot is in the downtown area of a town. But the CB&Q climbs out of the Illinois River Valley before it reaches Spring Valley. So I looked up by where IL-6 goes under the railroad.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Robert's post I presume the depot was the first building along the tracks south of US-6. I think part of the foundation might still be present: https://maps.app.goo.gl/TP8gzZM639GyGU5y5 I included the remnants of the C&NW roundhouse in the upper-left corner of this excerpt because roundhouses are usually intact in these 1939 aerials. Looking at a satellite map, the trees have covered the railroad property, but they have not covered the tailings pile. Robert Weber: Dennis DeBruler thanks Dennis, you are correct. |
