A fact from Bloomington freight station appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 January 2013 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
"The depot was deemed one of the leading components of the district, due largely to its place as the sole railroad-related building within the district: the Illinois Central built multiple train stations, engine houses, and turntables near the district's eastern edge, but only the freight depot remained by 1987"
This statement appears to be both implausible and internally inconsistent.
Did the railroad really build "multiple train stations", in the vicinity of this "freight depot", on what was apparently a minor branch line without a passenger service ? Perhaps the word they should have used is "multiple train sidings".

Thus says the source book, which includes pictures of some of the other railroad-related buildings. This wasn't a minor line, and the passenger station was a separate building about three blocks away from the district's western edge.
