To see @15 pictures, including before and after shots, of the CGW / CNW Ingalton area please go to Flickr and do a search of Mark Llanuza's photostream. (I do a Google search to get to Mr. Llanuza's Flickr photos and then did a search on "Ingalton".) Most of his photos are from the mid 1970's to early 1980's with the exception of the before and after shots with the 'after' having been shot in the last few years. There are a few shots of the depot.

I hope this helps,

CC

It appears to be west of Rt. 59.  Thanks for the link, Leo.

Try locating your spot here. Should be easy to figure out if it's the site of a depot.

No, it's roughly 30 miles west of Chicago.

Not really sure, but I thought it was just east of 59.

CGW Ingalton depot
Posted by Freeportbob on Thursday, August 8, 2013 7:37 PM

I walked the CGW  right-of-way about one block west of Rt 59 recently and found a large concrete foundation in an area where a depot would have been.  Is this the foundation of the CGW Ingalton depot?
