 found this postcard of a lake in Wanatah, IN and it shows the PRR tower at the crossing with the Monon...that's the Monon's depot with a car on the interchange track. The lake is a problem since you could not find it today: the dam was removed and the lake drained. The now "undammed" creek still runs through the area that today is a park with an old relocated bridge.
