n012944 It is now a RV dealership. I think that the depot still stands and is being used for the RV dealership office.

Well, at least "adaptive reuse" kept the structure from being destroyed entirely. - a.s.

Christmas is approaching, gang, and the old hormones of nostalgia are beginning to secrete....
During the early-to-mid 1960s I remember a one time visit to an outdoor estate railway in the western suburbs of Chicago. It was located along the north side of U.S. Hwy. 20 (Lake St.) a few miles west of Illinois 59. The owner built the line through some woods in his backyard and would occasionally run his 10-inch, 12-inch, or 15-inch gauge trains that the public could ride. The area was quite rural then, so finding the place wasn't hard; but, I'm pretty sure today the trains are gone.
Does anyone reading this message have any further information or comments about this miniature railway operation?
