Re: [CBQ] Downers Grove 1947 train wreck photos

That’s the exact photo I was looking for. If anyone remembers seeing it on Flickr let me know because I’m posting some contemporary shots of the depot and want to provide a legal link to illustrate the tracks that used to be in place behind it.

Thank you kindly,

Don't know about such views on Flickr, but hopefully this is what you're after.  Also a detouring dinky.

This depot was built in 1911.

I am trying to find a photo on Flickr taken during the clean up of the 1947 train wreck at Main St in Downers Grove showing a freight detouring down a side track behind the depot. I am having no success in finding it, does anyone have a link?

Thank you kindly,
