1. I would say it was a wood floor because when I was in it the floor was gone 
and it was used to store the track riders hi-rail(it was on a road trip I rode  
with both the track riders Montgomery to Galesburg and the Zearing to La Salle 
all via hi-rail ((one of the perks of working for a railroad)))
2.  Stamped galvanized tin  although in later years I am sure they were the 
same 
composite shingles in use today
3.  Yes just sash windows
Did you get a copy of the Station CD from Tim Fleck  It is a wealth of good 
info 
as it covers a lot of depots both Lines East and West.  It is just hard trying 
to figure out which I want to build

Many thanks to all of you who have provided data for me.

I have a few more questions.

1.  Would the raised platform in the freight end have been wooden, or 
packed earth with a concrete floor?

2. Metal roof shingles,  would these have been made of copper and what 
size would a shingle be?

3. I presume the window in the 60 & 70s would have been sash windows.
