1869 Wilmington Depot         
C&A/GM&O Depot erected in 1869, demolished in February 2012. One of the most historic events to take place on this depot's platform was in 1931 when the control of the C&A was officially transfered to the Baltimore & Ohio. The Program to upgrade the St Louis-Chicago Line to Highspeed rail is what finally did it in, although efforts were made to made the historic building.
