Photo of Day - 10/5/2015-E8 on the Wabash Cannon Ball

What a great photo.  I went into Google Maps and dug around and it appears the station is still standing and now has several businesses resident inside.  Line is now single tracked, per Google StreetView:

The house to the right still appears there, but not viewable from the same location near the station since a new building was added across the tracks.  See Google Street View:
