Here is the other side of the Cisco, IL depot that Facebook wouldn't let me post yesterday. Obviously this is the track side while the shot I posted yesterday was of the "blind" side.
[I looked for, but could not find, the other post.]

Glenn Lawson posted three photos with the comment: "Cisco, Illinois 11/26/24. Depot well maintained."
Glenn Lawson posted again with the same photos and comment.

Craig Cloud: Line still see use?

Ryan Tate: Craig Cloud as grain storage there now it does. CN uses the same line in Decatur to switch industries.

Glenn Lawson posted again with the same photos and comment.

Jon Roma: Former IC line between Champaign and Decatur.

The former Wabash is still a very active main line operated by NS, a few miles farther south.

Erik Coleman: They just remodeled it for their sesquicentennial celebration a couple months back. Had an open house with some historians, memorabilia and people dressed in 19th century attire.

MP 14.0 of the IC RR Decatur District. A real booming town it looks back around 1940.

Karl Ziemer: Nope. That was an old Illinos Terminal line that ran from Decatur to Champaign and then to Danville

Your photo disagrees with a Google Maps satelite image. This is the 1940 aerial photo that I found. https://maps.app.goo.gl/nAExo5biG2gooruv6

The grain elevator has grown in this town.
