The PM tracks used to do street running through town on Jefferson Street with a fanout for the station tracks where the police station is now located.

The tracks left the street for a block between 14th and Columbus Ave where the angle of the street grid changed.

The landscar of a building with a west wall on a strange angle still exists.

Fortunately, the waiting room was saved as an "event space." The station's platform tracks occupied land that now provides parking space for the events.
