Here is one more comparison that spans several decades. First photo is the NYC/Big 4 Freight House at Harrisburg, Illinois in a shot that was taken about 1964. Second photo is from the same spot, and shows the Gum Street location as it appears in 2007 - quite a difference, though not quite as bad as a hamburger joint in place of the passenger station.
