(Satellite, judging by the wood platform on the west and south sides, this was the depot)

Talk about being off the beaten path. Normally, in the Midwest a street view driver has driven on at least the main route that goes through the town. But none have driven through this town.

The east/west CB&Q route that Weldon was on was gone by 1954. The route between Leon and Van Wert was also gone. The route between Leon and Humeston still existed in 1977.

The north/south route that went north from Leon through Van Wert went all the way to Des Moines.
