Feed Mill: (Satellite)
The CB&Q crossed the CGW on the north side of town, and that was the location of the CGW depot.

It isn’t at the operators bay to start with. And the need for 4 semaphores on a single track branch line seems extravagant. Yes I know the Chicago Great Western crossed the CB&Q there at Holcomb. There was a separate depot in the SW quadrant of the diamonds. It would appear this depot would have sat an 1/8 of a mile or so to the south of the CB&Q/CGW diamonds. David Hahn: Did the CGW have their own depot here? Steve Becker: BNSF in the modern world. Richard Fiedler shared Andy Zukowski posted again The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Depot in Holcomb, Illinois. 1911…. The Holcomb Station opened in 1887 and closed on March 20th, 1950.

Larry Candilas: MP 8.8 Rockford & Flag Center Sub Bob Jungmann: Very few know where Holcomb Illi is---S. of Rockford West of Route 51 and South of route 72. It has an older elementary school for the late 40's that is now an antique shop. It is also just South of Davis Junction where the C B & Q crossed the Milwaukee RR. The CB&Q also crossed the Chicago Great Western on the North edge of the town. I never knew there was a station there as I was 5 yers old when they tore it down.
