These buildings, home to wooden benches, telegraph equipment, and old train schedules hanging on the wall, were the gateway to the rest of the world. One could catch a train to almost anywhere in the United States back in the day, but during the postwar years of America, the railroad depot faded into history. Decreased train ridership due to the increasing popularity of air travel and automobiles led to thousands of these once-important buildings closing and later being burned or torn down. From larger union depots in cities like Bloomington and Peoria to smaller isolated stops, Central Illinois Train Depots tells the story of buildings that once played vital roles in the development of communities throughout Central Illinois.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Dyrek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540246183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540246189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Pub (Sc)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Thomas Dyrek","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048052322559,"sku":"9781540246189","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31ad2c62-1db4-4bfe-a948-94f09b2b4f55.jpg?v=1684993616","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/central-illinois-train-depots-thomas-dyrek-9781540246189","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
