The Depot ~ Wayne, Illinois

In October, 2007, the historic Chicago and Northwestern railway station was relocated from Dunham Castle to the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad (now Union Pacific) tracks at Army Trail Road. The station was originally at that location, but moved to Dunham Castle during the 1940s or 1950s; the old station was converted to a horse stable. Through grants and contributions from Dunham Castle's owners, the station was moved back to its original location and is currently being restored. This building is locally called "The Depot". (information from Wikipedia)

 

I am always fascinated by this structure everytime I drive through Wayne, Illinois, which is actually quite often. It's been 4 years now and it is still under a restoration. Hmmmm.

 

And yes, another set of tracks without a train on it.......LOL. One day............... :-) Oh, that Dunham Castle needs to be checked out too. I didnt even know about that!

 

But, I really liked the sky this day and the red color of the depot against it made for a great shot.
