I don't normally do commuter stations because there are so many of them in Chicagoland, but the comments on this post made it worth noting.
Bob Kalal uploaded three photos with the comment: "1911, train derailment took out part of the old station."

Flickr has another photo of the damaged depot, but someone slapped a copyright on an uncopyrighted photo.
The article explained that back in 1911 about a third of the commuter trains terminated in Riverside. There was a small yard west of the station and south of the tracks. By 1938, the tracks had been removed from that yard, and it was used for storage. Today, that land is a
swim club and commuter parking.
