Millersville, IL: Lost/B&O Depot

(Satellite, the road and grain elevator have reused the land.)

The white building in the background was probably a grain elevator. I wonder if the tall building to the left of the white building is a coal mine.

Jacob Hortenstine: if taken in Illinois that would be B&O Shawneetown to Beardstown branch about six miles north of Pana Illinois

More passenger trains back in 1911 than most cities outside the Northeast Corridor have today!

This shows that the road used to go around the town.

I think the depot used to be between the short diagonal road and the tracks. But I can't find it. 1938 seems early for a depot to have been removed. The white grain elevator appears to be still standing. In the photo at the top, to the left of the base of the depot, you can see the old diagonal road curving to become Center Street.

The grain elevator has grown. If it still existed, the depot may have been in the foreground of this view.
