| Post subject: | Tiny depot available in NE Illinois |
The following information was gathered from the Blackhawk Railway Historical Society via AOTT: A small Wabash depot that served the town of Ritchie, IL in Will County is available. It is in restorable condition, not modified, but needing paint and likely new wood and roof. At some point, it was moved to a Will County farm. Currently the new farm owner does not want to retain the depot and is working with the Wilmington Area Historical Society to find a new owner. Contact William Weilding at e!tght15n! netythree1n! nety79 to inquire. Neither me nor any of the organizations mentioned (TMK) have a financial stake in this situation.
