Robert,

Thanks for posting this photo. In the early days of my train service career, the Pittsburg Sub. was part of my seniority district. It wasn’t a lot of fun to work this route in the ’70s and ’80s due to poor track conditions and few customers. But, today, I am very interested in the history of this line and I am a member of the Heart of the Heartlands.

The MP depot, in this photo, sits in the NW corner of the crossing with the NEO. Originally, it was located in the vicinity of the grain elevator to the south. It was moved and remodeled somewhere around WWII.
