After just having made a stop, car 459 leaves Green Valley on a mid-day trip bound for Wheaton. It is September 6, 1954. Today is Labor Day and trains are running on a Sunday schedule. The woman seen leaving the westbound platform had to inform the conductor of her stop. Flag stops, like Green Valley, had times listed on the timetables, but unless the semaphore on the platform was raised or a passenger gave notice to a conductor, the trains did not stop.

The westbound platform of the Green Valley station as seen looking east on March 31, 2010. Most people passing by wouldn't realize that there was a train station at this location. The wooden boards are the track-side edge of the platform.

The remains of the Green Valley eastbound platform on March 31, 2010. The mile marker indicates that this point is five miles from the convergence of the Aurora Branch, the Elgin Branch and the Main Stem of the Illinois Prairie Path.
