CCC&StL Mt Carmel Depot

A southbound CCC&StL passenger train is stopped at the depot in Mt. Carmel, Illinois in 1912. Train has 2 passenger cars and it seems there is a fair amount of people possibly boarding or deboarding. In 14 more years, the Egyptian would be taking over the passenger service here, with the NYC handling this route entirely between Indiana Harbor and Cairo.

 

No vehicles, cell phones, PTC, radios, air conditioning, labtops, vader signals, safety devices, vending machines, fast food restaurants, etc, etc, are included in this photo.
