What's left of the Pennsylvania's once proud "Spirit of St. Louis" (westbound train #31, New York - St. Louis) soldiers on under Penn Central as the train boards in Terre Haute, Indiana on December 14, 1970. Roger Puta photo.

Now, after the former Pennsy tracks cross the Wabash river, they curve up and join the former NYC/Big Four tracks because both routes are now owned by CSX. And Indiana State University has grown north of the old Pennsy right-of-way. According to old aerial photos, the Pennsy track used to continue straight from the bridge until it got to US-41, then it ran due east until 13th Street where it curved a little north to run along what is now the National Road Heritage Trail.

I added a blue line where I believe the Pennsy mainline ran through town. There used to be a yard between Spruce Street and the mainline. The red rectangle shows where I believe the depot in the above photo was located.

Art Wallis PRR ownership, C&EI tenantship. It was town down in 1960.

So the depot in Roger's 1970 photo was the one used after this one was torn down. This station was most likely here.
