Looking across and up the grassy knoll to the depot beyond

The railings of the ADA accessible path from Merchant Street up to the station

Looking across to the end of the platform

The pedestrian grade-crossing and diamond crossover beyond the platform

The Effingham, IL sign and CN emergency sign just south of the new ADA platform

The only legal entrance to the modern ADA Compliant platform

Concrete benches and the original platform

Looking out at the three station buildings

Looking down the modern platform, some weeds grow between the tracks

The back of the Effingham, IL Thank you for Choosing Amtrak sign

Looking north of the station

An Effingham, IL platform sign and older pointless arrows

The Chicago-bound Illini crosses the CSX tracks as it approaches the modern platform

Charger #4601 leads the now Chicago-bound Illini towards the station

Charger #4601 enters the station

The Charger attached to the Superliners of the extra-long with axel count cars heads north to Chicago

The Illini for Chicago arrives taking up a lot of the long platform with its axel count cars

Passengers walk down the platform to board the Superliners of the Illini
