James,
This information available from many sources. One good place to start would be this Bulletin published by the BRHS:
Bulletin #37 BURLINGTON BOXES (CB&Q two and three story depot/division office buildings of the 20th century) Contains 96 pages - CB&Q depot/division office buildings, covering the structures at Aurora, Galesburg, Davenport, North LaCrosse, Lincoln, McCook, Alliance, Sheridan, and Casper. Includes 140 photos, plus diagrams of each structure.
It's available at burlingtonroute.com

I'm reaching out the members of the CB&Q list to see if anyone on the list may have specific information about and or taken pictures of the Aurora, IL Depot as it existed from ~ 1930 through it's closure in 1986. I'm looking for the following information: Photo's or drawings / diagrams showing the platforms / platform covers (which tracks had them, which didn't) at the depot, for all tracks (2 through 10). Photo's or drawings / diagrams of the pedestrian subway / access to the platforms from the depot? Photo's or drawings / diagrams of the signals in use through out the depot tracks and how they entered track 3 on the mainline? Photo's or drawings of the depot ladder tracks, as well as the control of these tracks, manual at the turnout, or from the tower located on the North side of the mainline? If anyone can help me with any information, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been provided with some distance shots, but was hoping someone may have taken shots of the depot tracks at ground level in and around the area well prior and up through it's closing.
