Huntington, IN: Erie Shops and Depot

(Satellite, Yeoman Park and the building to the south and northeast were part of the yard complex)

Because of the tree lines north and south of the town and the angle of the Broil King Gas Barbecue Grills, it is easy to see where the Erie used to go through town.

A photo showing Erie train #6, led by a PA unit, passing 'WR' Tower in Huntington, IN, in SEP59. The locomotive number board seems to end in 2. With the round window at the unit rear and the grabirons bordering the front door, this would be PA1 #852, as PA2 #862 lacked these features.
[I need to research the north/south railroad that the Erie would be crossing.]

In Sept 2020, I got hit with a Double Doomsday. Both Facebook and Google changed their software. I said "changed" instead of "updated" because the new software is not better. In fact, Google's Blogger software is far worse except for a search function that works. Specifically, it has three bugs concerning photos and their captions. So I'm no longer copying photos and interesting comments from Facebook. I'm just saving the link. I hope you can see posts in Private Groups.
