I took this photograph on a late Sunday afternoon in early September of 1993. This is the Metra "Highlands" depot in West suburban Hindsdale Illinois. This depot is on the south side of the BNSF mainline tracks on the east side of the village of Hindsdale Illinois. Prior to 1970, this was the Chicago,Burlington & Quincy railroad. from 1970 to 1995 this was the Burlington Northern Railroad. Today it is the BNSF or Burlington Northern , Santa Fe Railway.

I love the roofline and brackets around the eves. It seems that was a common design for train depots in the early 1900's.
That's a great example.
I was always somewhat partial to this particulair local Chicagoland train depot Myself.
I don't recall the name of the manufacturer, but this same depot was offered in an H.O Scale model railroad kit during the 1970's and 80's. I used to see it advertised in Model Railroader Magazine.
Thank You.
Eddie.
