Thanks again.

A couple additional notes.
The subway went under all the tracks and there was an entrance just eas= t of the tower that allowed access from the parking lot on the North side o= f the complex.
The south entrance of the subway was outside the depot under what I=E2= =80=99ll call a portico or glass cover. The Aurora Burlington Credit union = was located in this same area. One had to go up a set of cement steps to ac= cess the depot waiting room.

Clark seems like it's pretty far from the depot to have had a tunne= l extending to it. I never explored the area when it was all still open, bu= t I my understanding is that the entrance to the underpass to the platform = stairs was outside the depot itself.

Okay, I just checked the Bing Maps street view, which is old enough= to show the depot still standing. It appears that there was just a sidewal= k along the southeast side of the tracks to just south of the corner of Bro= adway and Clark, where (as a train goes east) the embankment changes to the= viaduct that carries the tracks to New York St. (okay, there is a short se= ction of fill between Clark and Benton).

Hi All,=20

In the past= I've ask for much information and help on the Aurora Depot, that was in pl= aced from the Early 30's through it's eventual demolition in 1986, after be= ing moved to the current location in Aurora. Thank you to all those that an= swered.

There is on= e question that I haven't asked, and I don't have my CB&Q materials han= dy is to see if it covered, but was access to platforms 1 and 2, between tr= acks 2 and 3, done via the underpass that ran North / South under the track= s from the Depot itself on the south side off South Broadway, to the north = side of the tracks, and up stairs. Was there an underpass running under the= tracks, from this pedestrian underpass to the East on Clark street?
