White Heath, located about 15 miles west of Champaign, IL, was platted in 1872 by James Deland at the junction point of two pioneer railroads that were constructing through the area - the Monticello Railroad (Champaign-Monticello-Decatur) and the Havana, Mason City, Lincoln & Eastern Ry through the named towns.

The trackage arrangement in White Heath forms a complete "wye" which can be used to turn trains.

The depot, built in 1942 to replace an earlier structure, is still standing although it is owned by a local resident and not the Museum.

At the present time, privately owned freight cars are stored on the north 2 miles of the Museum's trackage into White Heath as a fundraiser.

When the track is completely refurbished, Museum trains may enter White Heath and use the Wye.
