interesting place, train station

The site of the former Chicago and North Western's Rosehill station. The station was demolished in the 1950's, but the casket elevator remains, bricked up, on the west side of the tracks. The C & NW used to run funeral trains to here, and the elevator was built to make it easier for pallbearers, who would not have to carry caskets up and down the stairs leading to the station.
