 Name:  Bradbury, Illinois(elevation 610')
 Mile Post:  133.2
 Previous Station:  Janesville
 Next Station:  Toledo
 Description:  Just north of Bradbury is as far as where the last glacier made it.  Therefore there was a significant hill on the line north of there that often required trains to double the hill.  A depot was built here in 1892, but burned on March 21st, 1908.  In 1909 a depot converted from a car body was used to replaced it.  This also doubled as the freight house.
