Along, at the time of this photo, U.S. Route 51, just west of Hudson, Illinois. This site today has been obliterated by Interstate 39/U.S. 51. I'm guessing this is where Franklin Street crossed U.S. 51, and we are looking west.

U.S. Route 51 at the Hudson Road looking Westbound. The white car is going Somuthbound. The station was torn down when I39 came through.

A Standard service station, located along U. S. Route 51. Note the sign seen along bottom edge that shows HUDSON ---> (east).
