ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

The Warrenville station in a second life. In this March 1997 view, the Chicago Aurora & Elgin as a railroad is gone and the Illinois Prairie Path has taken the place of the tracks, but the Warrenville station soldiers on serving as Warrenville city hall. By the time of this photo, seen looking east, the canopy has long since been removed and roof has been redone, giving the building a very different appearance from the days of the Roarin' Elgin. It would later be demolished in 2003. Click here for a larger version.
