That gray/white building above the first car in the consist was once the Waterloo passenger station after the station downtown was sold to the city and demolished during an urban renewal project in the late 1960s. The Belt Line to the downtown station was also removed as well. Traces of the Belt Line can be seen in satellite photos. Details and a photo of the old depot can be found in the September 1967 issue of the Illinois Central Magazine.
