Capron, IL: Lost/C&NW Depot

(Satellite)

The C&NW route is now the Long Prairie Trail.

Chicago & North Western Historical Society posted
Capron, Illinois was a station stop on the early C&NW line from Kenosha, Wisconsin to Rockford, Illinois.  It is located two station stops to the west of Harvard, Illinois.  Of course, the rails here are now all gone but a very nice Boone County bicycle train now graces the RoW.  Alas, the depot no longer exists.

The dormer in the roof line made it easy to find once I looked along the south side of the tracks. I don't see any grain elevators.
