Depot: (Satellite, the land of the depot is now part of a parking lot.)
I know IH made a lot of things in its heyday, but it is hard to believe that it used this many springs. I wonder if they sold some springs to other manufacturers.

The depot was in a small railyard next to their bridge over the Rock River. This area was abandoned and rebuilt.

The topo map misses the detail that the mainline is curved through that railyard. Judging from the shadow, the depot was just north of 3rd Street and above where 1st Ave. curved to the West. We can also see the buildings of the IH plant west of 1st Ave. and north of 2nd Street.
