Illinois Central Depot, Freeport, Illinios.jpg

Freeport, Illinois

The Depot in Freeport, Illinois (Stephenson County) that is listed as Illinois Central railroad was actually built by the Chicago & North Western Railroad. In the beginning it was just the C&NW, then the IC used it Jointly, then after the C&NW abandoned it’s line to Freeport the IC had it all to itself. I guess you could call it a union depot but if you compare it to other C&NW depots in the area, (Morrison, Dixon, Rochelle, DeKalb) the architecture is very similar.

Regarding the Freeport Illinois depot. It was probably 40's or early 50's when the CNW ceased passenger service to the east side of the building. The ICRR tracks were on the west side, and had at least 4 trains per day to and from Chicago.
