Why Not a New Depot for the Rock Island Line
The Rock Island road piles brick by its depot for a planned spring platform upgrade. A modern passenger station on park ground would improve public comfort and free the old depot for freight use, though financial retrenchment under Moore syndicate policy delays action.
