Wayne Hudak posted two pictures with the comment:
Merrillville Indiana C&O station, which was at 73rd & Broadway. It was razed in the 1960's. A work/camp train always sat there where the station was well into the 1970's. Tracks are now long gone.

Wayne's comment on his posting
Here's a 1960's photo of the 73rd & Broadway station just before it was razed. |
Freeing up prime real estate at the corner of Lincoln Highway and Broadway for a law office is the only part of the C&O RoW that has been rebuilt except for the strip along US-30.
But looking at a 1952 aerial, it looks like the depot was further north, and it could have been preserved as a very nice trail head. I believe the depot is the black rectangle in the upper-left corner of this excerpt. Now it is just trees and vacant land with concrete foundation remnants.
