I wonder what the story is about the passenger car. And it is interesting that they built a tower for the cell phone antennas rather than add them with the other antennas that are on top of the headhouse. The white tanks beyond the grain bin were probably for fertilizer. Since Google Maps labels this Former Delaware Farmer's Exchange, it is probably abandoned.

Should I label these notes rrBN to reflect the Frisco origins of the passenger car?

  This is the former Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & Indianapolis Railway Depot at 60 Lake Street in Delaware, Ohio . Its construction was completed in 1887. It eventually became part of the New York Central System. Trains ceased stopping here on November 19, 1965 and it is currently vacant. The former freight house across the tracks is now a restaurant - Sand Bar Station.— with Ellen Scott in Delaware, OH.
William Gall: Last time I inspected the bridges on it, they called it the Delaware old main on the part through town.











Judging from the street views, the freight house has recently had several owners.
