    I think that this is the best photo, considering its elevated perspective, looking Southward toward Cairo, with a short freight train standing on the main line. This photo has to be prior to the 1915 date when the Big Four enlarged and expanded the depot with a bay window and larger freight house on the North end of the building. Note Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn standing on the platform, which now appears to be paved, as compared to the wooden platform on one of the earlier photos. - CAPT Rex Settlemoir.

    Somehow I missed this one. Another real classic, and neat comment on Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn! :tb-biggrin:
