Album Info:On the way to Kankakee, we passed through the small town of Momence, IL and noticed a well maintained former New Yori Central depot, now a private museum. The depot sat along the NYC ROW once called the Kankakee Belt Line and interchanged with the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. Now NS owns the remaining line while BNSF/CSX co-own the former C&EI.
