Just down the street from the previously-featured Mobile & Ohio Railroad depot, sits the Illinois Central Depot. Like the M&O, this secondary mainline of the Illinois Ce
ntral is long gone. Actually, it appears as if the line through town ran right down the middle of the street.
The depot is large and ornate, almost as large as the Carbondale depot. Though, not on the mainline, Murphysboro is the county seat of Jackson County, and thus deserving of a nice depot.
The depot and adjacent freight house are in excellent condition, used by a local adult rehabilitation center.
