Buckbee interlocking
This abandoned electronics hut was for the old IC (now CN) and CB&Q (now Illinois Railway) Buckbee diamond at CN milepost 85.6 west on the Freeport Subdivision. The diamond has been replaced by a pair of switches at what is now the East Rockford interlocking and control point. In the distant past the old diamond was controlled by a manned interlocking tower at this location. The 436 Buckbee lettering on the eave of the building appears to be a reference to the street address of the building which is at 436 Buckbee Street..
