Thank you all for helping me out with the depot info.
As for possible track connections, I spent yesterday evening peering at topo
maps and satellite photos and I'm now convinced there never was a connection
between the two lines. Basically I'm not surprised, but I've seen stranger
things in the world of railroads.
Thank you kindly,

Mike, The Q depot was just west of the Rt 26 bridge on the north side of
town. It sat on the south side of the tracks just to the west of the large
bulk propane tank. There are some pictures of the depot in the Polo Hist.
Society museum.
As far as I know there was never an interchange between the 2 RRs but I
won't swear to that.
I live in Mt. Morris..just 15 mi NE of Polo. Hope this helps!
