Chicago Great Western Railroad Depot in Clare Illinois 1975.

Regular Rail operations and passenger services at the Clare Depot ended in 1956 amid declining rural rail traffic.

MP 64.1 Chicago District. It had freight service until CNW abandoned it in the early 1970s. Still had a depot in 1963

And it’s still there!! Red line shows original ROW. Arrow shows the building.

Electric pole still on the side of the building. I wonder if the “Clare” sign is still there?!

As the satellite image shows, there is a lot of bins behind the wood elevator that we can't see from the north/south road. Fortunately, this field has soybeans instead of corn.
