The Depot was originally built in the 1870's by the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes (CD&V) RR. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois (C&EI) RR took it over and operated it until the 1960's when it closed. The depot was sold & moved to Monee, IL to Thompson's Winery where it was used as a gift shop until the 1980's. It was returned to it's original site in Beecher in 2000, and renovated to it's present state. It is a standard wooden depot and one of the last of its kind left on the C&EI route. It is the home of the local historical society and is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until noon.

Kiddieland will be starting its 80th season this April. This is an old family fun park I used to go to with my parents when I lived in Elmhurst. Miniature diesel operates as it did back then. Kiddieland plans on operating their Wagner 484 Northern 14 guage steam fired train on Saturday, Sundays and holidays during our 2008 season. The engine has undergone an overhaul and restoration and we were successful in hiring a couple of Steam Train qualified engineers this past summer and operated Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays through the end of October. Our Guests really enjoyed the Steam train operating and even the couple of hours it stood outside while the fire in the boiler got up to temperature and pressure. We usually operated the train about 5-6 hours per day.
Kiddieland has announced that 2009 will be its last season closing in late Sept. so get your rides NOW!

PEKIN CHICAGO & ALTON DEPOT
PEKIN, ILLINOIS -USA
Location: PEKIN, IL
Description:
|
Comments/Directions:
The C&A depot in Pekin is undergoing restoration including removal or lead based paint and return to its original colors. The train depot was moved to its current location on Broadway Road across from the Pekin Housing Authority on July 20, 2007 after David and Louise Milam donated it. Had the park district not moved the depot, it would have been leveled to make way for the new Walgreens Drug Store at the corner of Broadway Road and 14th Street. The park district has not yet decided how the depot will be used once it is restored, but Blackwell said it could eventually become a railroad museum.

Very well preserved depot, lots to see and do in Springfield.
"Springfield Union Station was designed in the Richardson Romanesque style in 1896 as a combined passenger terminal for several railroads serving Springfield, including the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis Railroad, Illinois Central Railroad, and the St. Louis, Peoria and Northern Railway. Although the structure was intended to be used jointly by these railroads, the Illinois Central was the predominant carrier, and the architect was Illinois Central chief architect Francis T. Bacon. The station was built in 1897-1898 at a cost of $75,000, and opened for business on January 2, 1898.[2] During its 73 years of active service, the station carried substantial passenger train traffic to and from Chicago, St. Louis, and other cities. .... wikipedi"
