Two former Chicago Central & Pacific maintenance-of-way cars, ex-ICG, travel past the Rock Island shack at Henry, IL around November of 1987. These two were recently bought by the Keokuk Junction Railway. John & Roger Kujawa Photo, Thomas Dyrek Collection.

The topo map was not much help.

This aerial shows that it was in the east quadrant of the crossing of the tracks and 3rd Street.

But Andy's photo doesn't have 3rd Street next to the depot. So I got a photo closer to the timeframe of the photo.

This 1970 photo shows that the depot with a dormer was still in the east quadrant of the crossing of the tracks with 3rd Street.

I got a newer aerial to confirm that the old depot had been replaced with the shack.
