Thanks, Allen (and Bob Campbell) for your replies. The plan I have appears to
be the same one as the 1924 plan you refer to. It is a plan view only, and
describes the baggage doors, but contains no elevation views.

Subject: RE: [CBQ] Question about Hinsdale Brush Hill Depot
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.
