Bellevue, OH: NKP Depot and Water Tower and Abandoned Grain Elevators

Depot: (Satellite)
Elevators: (Satellite)

NKP and Lake Shore Electric stations at Bellevue. Date unknown, but probably in the 1910s.
Judging from the locomotives setting on a curve in the track, this view is looking east.

Given that the tracks turn north in the above photo, the depot must have been along the east/west part of their route.

In fact, it looks like the western part of the depot is still standing as part of the Mad River  & NKP Railroad Museum.

I had noticed the foundation for several grain bins. The checkerboards on the remaining silos indicates it used to be a Ralston Purina facility. Note that the depot is near the center of this excerpt.

I looked for street views that had a better focus on the sign on the depot remnant. There was only one other view. The sign was less readable, but it showed the elevator still standing.
