Buckingham, IL: IC's Kankakee and SouthWest forked into North and South Branches

(Satellite, it was in the southeast quadrant of Elm Street and the tracks. The land has been reused by the pinned building.)

This town was on the IC branch of Kankakee & SouthWest (K&SW).

MP 75.7 Bloomington District; junction with a short branch going NW then north to Clarke City and Tracy to local coal mines; July 1939 aerial


"K. & S. W." stands for Kankakee & SouthWest. And the Tracy branch (twig) was added later to serve coal mines.
