The Amboy depot was built in 1876 and was the division offices, housing the dispatchers, accountants, civil engineering and other staff. After only 18 years, the division offices were moved to Chicago. In 1967, the depot closed as an open agency. Today, it is on the National Register of Historic Places and houses the Amboy museum and has numerous IC artifacts. The "Gruber" crossed the BN's Burgess Jct-Denrock branch at Amboy. |
