“The old New Lenox train depot made its estimated 6-mile move Wednesday morning from Church Street to its new home at Walt Konow’s farm, causing quite a stir in the process. Crowds gathered to watch and photograph the depot, raised up on wheels, make its way about 8:45 a.m. Utility crews monitored wires, and law enforcement blocked traffic. Once the depot is settled in its new location, 16849 Cedar Road in Homer Glen, it is planned to be named a Will County historic site.”

Fr. Andrew read a prayer as the station began its 5 mile move to Konow’s farm in Homer Glen. The Station arrived in one piece and no one was injured. The weather continued to be fair up until the end when in rained slightly. This was a New Lenox Area Historical Association project which several St. John supporters are members
