John Stell posted Former CB&Q depot at Thompson Illinois on 10-7-08. John Stell slide. |
Sam Carlson posted Not sure whose depot this is, but there was a MILW track on one side and a BN track on the other, 12-20-94. Thompson, IL. There were a couple of MILW heralds hung crookedly on a wall inside the place. Dennis DeBruler: Thanks for taking photos of infrastructure as well as trains. This one photo taught me a lot of Illinois railroad history. |
Dennis DeBruler commented on Sam's post This 1939 aerial photo confirms that the depot used to be right next to the mainline. |
Dennis DeBruler commented on Sam's post The depot has been moved a little east and aligned to the north-south/east-west grid. The track that was on the east side of the depot still exists, and it was probably a team track. 41°57'32.5"N 90°06'07.3"W |
Dennis DeBruler commented on Sam's post It has been repurposed as a museum. Street View |
Dennis DeBruler commented on Sam's post Zooming out on the 1985 map, it appears that MILW (west side) and CB&Q (east side) joined in Ebner and shared the route north through Thomson. |
Dennis DeBruler commented on Sam's post I found an older topo that shows Milwaukee built the route. So CB&Q must have paid to use it. 1894 Clinton Quadrangle @ 1:62,500 |
Dennis DeBruler commented on Sam's comment Looking at 1985 topos, BN rebuilt their route through here to remove some curves and to reduce the grades caused by Johnson Creek. 42°02'06.3"N 90°00'03.6"W [AbanMap] |
