| Larry Foht posted Illinois Central Railroad Depot Addison Illinois Larry Foht collection : Chris John: Was this just north of Lake Street? |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Chris' comment The IC did have a spur that went North past Lake Street. But the spur would not be double tracked. So I think the depot was down in the wye in South Addison. Specifically, south of North Ave and north of the tracks where those two meet. 1953 Elmhurst Quad @ 24,000 My notes have the aerial photos that led to that conclusion, https://towns-and-nature.blogspot.com/2024/02/addison-il-lostic-depot.html |

This is what it looked like around Lake Street. None of the buildings along the track struck me as the one in the photo. And then it occurred to me that the spur would not be double tracked so...

...I looked down by the wye. Given the direction of the platform in the photo, I think it is the rectangle on the west side of the triangle that is bounded by North, Addison and the tracks, and the train is heading West.

I checked another photo to see if the rectangle was more clear. It is a little better, but not much.
