Another "then and now." This time we are looking at the C&NW depot and it's modern placement at Dwight, Nebraska. The top photo was taken about 1910 while the second is the current placement at Dwight. It was restored during the town's centennial celebration. Dwight is on what was once a line from Fremont, Nebraska to Superior, Nebraska. Dwight is about half way between those two places. The restored building is now a museum.
Mike Bartels: Saw its last C&NW train in June 1962, with Hyman-Michaels scrap train that fall. Acquired and restored by the Novacek family, who owned the grain elevator. I don't believe it is open for regular hours. Sometimes it has been open during the Dwight Czech Festival in July. The July 1975 North Western Lines has an article about the depot by Eric Bachenberg. Typical FE&MV style with the nine-pane windows above the freight room end door. Some had bay windows, some didn't. Henderson, Neb., built a replica depot in 2013, taking measurements from Dwight, for its Mennonite Heritage Park located north of town on its access road from Interstate 80. Actual Henderson C&NW depot torn down in 1982.
