| Andy Zukowski posted Illinois Central Railroad Depot in Cropsey, Illinois 1963 Sam Richards: This track is now the Bloomer Line. Paul Jones: Foundation still exists. Connor Bounds: Fairbury did a great job killing cropsey. Took their school and bank |

| Larry Candilas commented on Andy's post MP 111.5 Bloomington District; early 1900s probably waiting for the "Bloomer Cannonball" David Kennedy: Larry Candilas look at the difference in the old track by station. It is abandoned in the new photo. Plus the bushes are blocking the operator/agents view. |
I could not figure out which smudge that is parallel to the tracks was the depot. Fortunately, Paul's comment above about the foundation allowed me to find its location.

Thanks to the Bloomer Line, the grain elevator is rail served and has grown a few times.
