Ron Buser B&O did not run through Jonesboro, Indiana, only the NYC Big 4 & the C&O.
The Historic Aerials go back to just 1998. So I used the oldest topo map --- 1961. I did not find any yard area for the NS/NYC/Big Four. But this clump of trees west of the river used to be the C&O yard. The Cardinal Greenway Trail would have been the C&O right-of-way through town.
