Rockford & Interurban Depot, Winnebago, Illinois .jpg

Winnebago, Illinois

In 1903 thru 1930, the village of Winnebago was served by the Rockford & Interurban RR., an electric line with frequent passenger service from Rockford or Pecatonica and Freeport. This line also brought electrical power into Winnebago.
At this point in time laborers started commuting to work at an ever-growing Rockford, and many more residents did their shopping in Rockford rather than locally.
Rides from Winnebago to Rockford were 25 cents.

I love your historical photos. They are of such high quality. The Minolta DiMage is obviously a fine camera in good hands. How do you rate it against other digitals?
