The 1899 depot

An odd little traffic circle connects the 1899 depot (behind me) with the 1924 depot

The ramp up to the end of the platform and the 1924 depot

Looking across to the entrance to the 1899 depot

Looking up at the blur of Charger #4601 entering the station

Charger #4601 crosses above the No Access to Trains sign on the ramp up to the end of the platform

The Superliner Cars pass the old station approaching the new station

Another view of the Superliners of the Saluki passing the historic 1924 depot

The rear Superliner, a diner/lounge, one of three dining cars used for axel count purposes

Looking down the brick street between the station used until 1990 and the Saluki that comes to a stop in the station

Sign for the Depot Barber Shop inside the old depot

The entrance to the porte-cochere of the older Amtrak station

Looking down University Avenue at the back of the Saluki stopped in the station

Looking across University Avenue at the modern depot

Looking down on P42s attached to the Heritage Baggage Car

The north side of the Illinois Terminal modern depot

The sign for businesses in a signage pole for the Illinois Terminal

The wooden baggage cart in the little baggage area between station and platform

Looking down at the Carbondale-bound Saluki waiting for its departure time, still boarding passengers (including me)
