Herington, KS: Rock Island Double Tank and Depot

Depot: (Satellite, it was in the northeast quadrant of Walnut crossing the tracks. The depot had to be removed to build the overpass that now connects Main Street to Walnut Street.)

A DOUBLE-TANK water storage tower existed in the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad yard in Herington, Kan., 100 years ago. Also note a wooden coal chute in the background at lower right. I obtained this snapshot from a Herington resident many years ago. It is believed the photo was taken sometime between 1918 and 1920.
