| Roger Kujawa posted RPPC Railroad Train Station Depot At Anchor, Illinois. Mclean County Cropsey IL was laid out in 1880 and in the same year the people in the Township attracted the Clinton, Bloomington, and Northwestern RR and the first train from Kankakee ran 7/4/1880. Anchor, Colfax, and Cooksville were all laid out at the same time because of the RR. The CB&NW soon was absorbed by the Illinois Central RR becoming its “Bloomer Line”. So this would be a depot built by the CB&NWRR. Thanks to Jimmy Fiedler for info on the depot. Roger Kujawa shared with the comment: "Anchor, Illinois depot, McLean County." |
This topo map accurately marks the location of the depot.
