Mike:
The CB&Q station map shows the depot at MP 78.24, on the south side, directly
across from the elevator. In the photograph you cite, the depot is clearly
east of an elevator by perhaps 100 feet. There may have been more than one
elevator, so I don't know if the elevator in the photograph is the same one
shown on the map. But I would still go with MP 78.24 for the depot location.

Subject: [CBQ] Meriden IL depot location
Can anyone tell where the depot in Meriden IL on the Q's Galesburg line was
located? There's a photo of it in Robert Olmsted's book "Trail of the
Zephyrs" and it looks like it sat on the south side of the tracks near the
elevator. I may be wrong, and if so please correct me, but I have the
impression that the depots on this line sat on the north side of the tracks.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thank you kindly,
Mike M.
Downers Grove, IL
