Chicago & Alton 1879 Railroad Depot

 This depot was the final leg of the famous triangle from Chicago to Alton, IL to St Louis and then finally to Kansas City.  The last train passenger train stopped at the depot in 1960.  It was restored and moved to this location in 1992 - 2002.

    I wonder what the airlines would charge to check that trunk.

    Nice the way they have put the trunk out there - the next train could be along at any moment!

    I am so enjoying your historic posts. How does Alabama's heat match Kansas City's?
