Last weekend I was out fanning the former Q line to Galesburg and paused to photograph a train stopped at E 9th St in La Salle County. This is a point about midway between Earlville and Meriden. I no

Can anyone tell where the depot in Meriden IL on the Q's Galesburg line was located? There's a photo of it in Robert Olmsted's book "Trail of the Zephyrs" and it looks like it sat on the south side o
