From the Daily Herald of September 25, 2005 about
preservation efforts for an old train station.
Train depots have plenty of history in Wayne. Karen Armbrust said the first one, known as Dunham Depot, was built in 1850 when one of the village’s founding fathers, Solomon Dunham, wanted a rail line closer to the land he owned.
The newer, bigger depot that the village is now trying to restore into the museum was built in 1884 and eventually boarded up after the last stops in 1950. A few years later, Karen said, it was moved to the Dunham Castle property by family member Jane Dunham.
Anyone interested in getting involved or seeking more information about the museum project can contact the village at (630) 584-3090.
The picture is not on the link but it's a spitting image of the old Revell Small Town station.
