Justin Mueller: Looks about the same. Where the water tank is that's about where the engines get fueled yet. Where the picture was taken is about the same spot there is a camera to watch every thing you do.
Andy Hughes: Into the 20s, Mason City had over 70 passenger arrivals and or departures per day. Mostly due to the traction co. Having hourly trains to & from Clear Lake. Lot of other stuff going on like meat packing & more.
