| Andy Zukowski posted Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Depot in Forreston, Illinois. Richard Hammer: That's the Illinois Central overpass to the east of the depot. Tom Lampman: Richard Hammer IC's Gruber Line. The interchange with them here sucked, even more dangerous at night. I always worried about my men on the ground here while performing that duty.
