Removed crossing of the GR&I and NYC at Kandallville, Indiana March 12, 1977. Looking south.
Jim Sinclair Nice share, Greg! I don't ever recall seeing the old depot at Kendallville, and it sure looks like a GR&I-PRR structure to me. Or at least it's very unlike the LS&MS depots seen along their mainline.
[In the middle on the right you can see the curved connector track from NS to the Kendallville Terminal Railroad. The GR&I segment between Kendallville and Sturgis, MI was abandoned by Conrail.]

 http://madisonrails.railfan.net/kendallville.html some great photos of this location. You can see the depot with passengers on the platform as the freight passes UK Tower grabbing orders on the fly.

1964 NYCS track diagram which shows all of the Kendallville side-tracks and which RR company was responsible for the maintenance of those sections. With the exception of the main lines.

Update: the depot was in the southeast corner and the tower was in the northwest corner.
