The Cloverleaf RoW is still very evident. There was a connector in the northwest quadrant.

Because of the existing land scars, I don't need an old aerial to find where the crossing is. But I do need tone to determine the orientation. The above view is looking south along the C&EI and the depot would be for the NKP/Cloverleaf.

[This is the same photo as above, but I thought it is interesting how different people scan and "adjust" old photos differently. This one is much darker and/or higher contrast.]
