Virgil, IL: Lost/CGW Depot

(Satellite, I think this is the remnants of the platform.)

Note the short white line west of Meredith Road and just north of the long white line. I think the long white line was the CGW right-of-way, and the short white line was the platform. As in Andy's photo, the depot is just north of the platform.

I think this is the building to the right of the depot in Andy's photo.

Fortunately, the building has been restored.
