    Big Four Northbound at Jackson St Station in Elkhart, IN in 1895.
    I remember the water tank but the water tank is long gone replaced by a travern. - Maurice Lewman.

    Great unposed photo showing a bustling station area.

    Fitting that the water tank was replaced by a Tavern, one satisfied thirsty locomotives and the other satisfies thirsty passengers.

    Thanks for more history, Roger. Water tank replaced by tavern.-----For those of you raised "back east," I can't resist this: I fell "off the wagon" today, since it is St. Patrick's Day. I know Hank knows the meaning of this Irish-American quote.
