This style depot was used extensively and solely on Wabash’s Bement to Chicago line specifically between Wing IL to Chicago. That line segment was built by Wabash predecessor the Chicago and Strawn RR a construction name but operated by the Wabash and absorbed by the Wabash in 1880 as well as the Chicago and Paducah RR that lines connection that completed the route."

Richard Fiedler: Andy Zukowski the Tri color scheme of buff over gray with red oxide trim was used appropriately 1890-1910, then replaced by solid red oxide, then solid gray with white trim, and finally gray with black trim. Note the cinder ballast. The train is southbound and appears to be an all stops local with a RPO, express/baggage car, and 2 coaches.
