| Andrew Waldo posted This well-known NC&StL station at Stevenson, Alabama still stands today in all its glory. Built in 1872, it served both the Nashville, Chattanooga & St Louis Railroad and the Southern Railway. Of their joint use, the Engineering Field Notes say this: "Pilot [a member of the survey team] claims ownership for NC&StL acct. No contract. Used jointly. Both roads have tracks to bldg." The team speeder waiting on the NC&StL track is just right of center, not far from some stray(?) livestock "grazing" on the platform. Waiting for the local? Photo taken 19 June 1916.

Looking at my 1928 RR Atlas, CSX/NC&StL came into Stevenson, AL, from the north and NS/Southern came from the west. They share a route east to Chattanooga, TN. Near this town, NC&StL came in from the northwest while Southern came in from the southwest. They both left to the northeast.

The CSX/NC&StL side has an agent's bay window.

Note that the hotel behind the depot is also extant.

Doug's comment: "#5 a 44 toner, built 9, 1942, was Rio Grande 39, Mead Container board, # unknown."
I got this older street view because...

...while looking for a decent street view of the depot, I noticed the grain elevator that I saw on the satellite image was torn down. It was torn down by Sep 2023, but they still haven't scrapped some of the bins.
