| Andy Zukowski posted Chicago and Alton Depot, Hopedale, Illinois. C1910 photo from the James Woodruff collection. Mark Stoeckel: Located on the “Jack Line” Bill Edrington: It was the Chicago & Alton depot in 1910. Harlan Hannah: Does anyone know where the depot was located? Richard Fiedler shared Andy Zukowski posted again Original Chicago and Alton main line from Bloomington, IL to Kansas City, Mo. Now abandoned. Railroad Depot in Hopedale, Illinois. C.1910 Dan Focht: The part between Roodhouse, IL. and Kansas City, Mo. is now used by the CPKC. Richard Fiedler: The C&A and GM&O saw this line as profit and a backup mainline in case the mainline was blocked, but the ICG saw this and most of the GM&O as scrap value. |

| Dennis DeBrule answered Harlan's question Given that the grain elevators were on the south side of the tracks, it would have been a half-block northeast of Main Street, https://maps.app.goo.gl/HqerJGUh89MgYGWT9 |

This treeline is the old right-of-way of the C&A. The bridge is on the right side of this treeline.
