Big Four Depot: (

IC Depot: (
Satellite, because of the nearby building, I can't accurately drop a pin on the location. It was just north of the mainline and a little west of Cross St. A house track ran behind it.)
NYC/Big Four Depot:

This is the old NYC depot in Robinson. It is now the VFW Veterans museum. The signals are turned sideways to Main St, now. The line ran north and south through Crawford County and was the old NYC Egyptian Line as I understand it. |

The NYC/Big Four/
Egyptian Line was the curved north/south route on the east side of town, and it is now abandoned. The east/west IC route is now owned by the Indiana Rail Road (INRD).

At first, I could not decide which of the several rectangles that are along the IC route would be the depot. Then I noticed the NYC boxcar in Andy's photo. That indicates that the depot had a house track behind it. So that made me choose the rather faint rectangle west of Cross Street. Note that the Big Four depot is also a very faint rectangle in this photo.
