| Andy Zukowski posted Union Railroad Train Station Depot at Ohlman, Illinois. 1908 Bill Edrington: Owned by the Big Four; C&EI had trackage rights from Pana to Granite City and its passenger trains made conditional stops at Ohlman at that time. Dennis DeBruler: Bill Edrington Thanks, I wondered why it was a union station. Bill Edrington: Dennis DeBruler - Technically I guess it was, but I suspect that if a stranger had asked somebody in Ohlman where "Union Station" was, they probably would have said "St. Louis." Richard Fiedler shared Keith Cearlock: Can you share please? Dennis DeBruler: Keith Cearlock Private groups can't share. But if you click the photo you get to Andy's post, and that post can be shared. Steven Hooker shared Colin Harding: According to my 1940 Official Guide on the C&EI and Nickel Plate. Dennis DeBruler: Colin Harding If you click the photo, you can access the comment by Bill Edrington. He and some maps indicate the tracks were owned by Big Four and C&EI shared the tracks and station. I wonder how the Nickel Plate was involved. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post I'm glad I saw Depot Street because I had originally guessed a rectangle on the town side of the tracks. But when I looked again on this 1939 aerial, I could clearly see the platform of the depot. And Andy's photo shows there were no buildings behind the depot. https://maps.app.goo.gl/9j1JZEhJi1GUSVnR6 |
