RE: [CBQ] Question about Hinsdale Brush Hill Depot

[Allen Moore <iigsfan@hotmail.com>]

Glen - Further to my earlier e-mail, on a General Plan dated 1924, the doors on 
the street side show 8' swing.  The track side shows 8' doors to slide up.  On 
the waiting rood side (W) was a 3'4" door swing into the baggage room.  This 
door was located half way on a 28' wall. All the doors were 1/2 way along the 
respective wall.
In a quick search, I could not find any pictures of the depot, however I feel 
that they exist, I just did not find them in the books that I looked in.

Subject: [CBQ] Question about Hinsdale Brush Hill Depot















 




    
                  I am getting ready to construct a model of the Hinsdale main 
station, also known as the Brush Hill station.  The station has been 
extensively changed from the CB&Q drawings (i.e. the east building which was a 
former baggage room is now a waiting room, and the open canopy on the west end 
has been completely enclosed and made part of the main building.  I want to 
confirm that these changes were made after the 1970 merger, and therefore done 
by either RTA or Metra.  Is that true?



Also, can anyone direct me to a reference that would show what the baggage 
doors looked like on the original east end building.  Thanks in advance.
