The Illinois Terminal Railroad Interurban picks up passengers at the Urbana, Illinois Depot in the 1950s.

Rick Smith: That's probably what had been "North Broadway"; it was a shared structure for the ITR and the Wabash. Street address was "220 North Broadway Ave" (north-south between Vine and Race streets)

David Hahn: Which street is in the foreground?

Broadway Ave. The land for it and the grain elevator is now part of the grocery store's parking long: https://maps.app.goo.gl/z7JZqNiHsfDDup1r8. The extant P&E Depot is a half-block to the west: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jwejGJokGJRi4MY38. 1960 aerial photo

I started with this older photo which shows the grain elevator. I got the above photo to confirm that the white rectangle in this aerial was the depot.

According to the 2005 SPV Map, IT used the IC tracks to get to the Wabash tracks and used the Wabash to get through the two towns. The IT terminated in Urbana.
