Illinois Midland (the 1.9 mile one) Enginehouse & Millington Stn

This short line has made a few appearances in the mags over the years. I’m doing a little research. There were really no buildings the line owned except an engine house described as “stone.”

Anyone have any photos? I can’t find any in publications.

The only other structure of significance was the CB&Q depot at Millington IL. Anyone have a photo of it, or of another spot which used what was surely a standard design?

Morning Dadadata - I have some IM photos, but sure don’t recall a “stone” engine house. I’d be glad to scan a few of the slides and get them to you. f you want, reply with your e-mail address and I can send some JPG scans over the next day or so. All the best, Art

Sure. Dadadata@gmail.com.

The reference to stone is in John Steenwyk’s article … “Little stone engine house.” The door end photo makes it look more like the plain single stall wooden type.

thanks … Craig

Morning Craig - if you’d put a gun to my head, I’d have sworn it was a frame engine house, as well! I’ll dig through the slides tonight and see what if anything may be of assistance. Have a great day, Art

Thanks. I am thinking of calling the local small museum, too.

10-4, brought in 3 slides to scan, which I will do a touch later today. Art
