Marion, IA: Milwaukee Depot

(Satellite, the tracks were north of 6th Avenue and the depot was north of the tracks)

Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's post
The depot was the horizontal rectangle on this map that is a little north and east of "City Hall."

The 2005 SPV Map shows that the route was built by Milwaukee, but abandoned by IC. That explains why this map labels it as ICG.

14 photos of the depot and a caboose display

I couldn't find the caboose on a satellite image because it is covered by trees.
