Bloomfield, IA: Remodeled/CB&Q Depot

(Satellite)

Street View, Sep 2025

I wonder why the restoration filled in the roof brackets. That makes it look "funny."

It's fixed up now although not exactly historically accurate.

The N&W label is wrong, it was still the Wabash in 1954. The 2004 SPV Map shows that CB&Q had trackage rights on the Wabash route going west from town. The CB&Q branch was abandoned before BN was created.

CB&Q had its own tracks west of Moulton to Sedan and beyond, but that was already abandoned by 1954.

I traced the route west of Bloomfield because this map shows CB&Q had a connection between Bloomfield and Sedan.
