Grain Elevator: (Satellite)
 |
| Jim Arvites posted View of the old Union Pacific Railroad passenger depot at WaKeeney, Kansas circa 1885. The station, built in 1879, was torn down in 1941 and replaced by a new streamline depot. (Kansas Historical Society) Tim Schrag: In the 80’s they tried to move the streamlined depot to another location and the sill plates were so termite eaten they just broke up. The depot was demolished. Note the courthouse in the left rear of the pic with the same style of steeple. The steeples were later deleted as so many valleys were impossible to keep water from intruding into the structure. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Jim's post [AR1VAAN00010039] In this 1960 aerial, it looks like the depot was on the north side of the tracks and between 4th and Main Streets. The concrete silos make it easy to correlated the aerial photo with a contemporary satellite image. https://maps.app.goo.gl/FNL25u66fgR3Um7V8 |
The facility on the right would be a feed mill because of the many small bins and the feed truck.

It looks like the elevator is rail served. The elevator doesn't have a really long siding. Is this route still served by UP? Or is it now owned by a shortline?

The depot used to have a house track.
