Montpelier was the junction of two
Wabash routes. One went from Toledo to Chicago and the other went from Detroit to St. Louis and Kansas City. The later went through Fort Wayne, IN, my home town. Jim Etchie
posted a photo dump:

The view is from the 80's. The second view when you zoom in shoes an "NW" high cube boxcar on one of the leads as well as "NW" lettered diesels on the ready tracks. |
