Joe Hill General I've wondered for years exactly where this depot was located. Now I know! And a sad sight indeed. 1/3/2010 10:24:22 AM

Wendy Crim General Makes me sad! Those old depots were really nice. 6/2/2011 9:30:15 PM
David Barrentine General I never have understood why they don't preserve them instead of tearing them down. It just doesn't make any sense. Nice shot though. 6/4/2011 8:44:11 AM
John Buckner General This depot was in my hometown. My dad bought the buidlinding with hopes of saving it, but the RR later made him remove it. All the bricks, wood floors, terracotta tiles, windows, etc were saved and incorporated into building structures in a local museum. Sad it had to be removed, but we saved as much as possible. 6/8/2011 12:54:38 PM
