Council Bluffs, IA: 1899 Rails West Museum/Rock Island Depot

(Satellite)

RailsWest History Museum posted two photos with the comment:
Then and Now!
The Rock Island Depot looks very different today than it did over a hundred years ago! This is one of the earliest photos of the depot we have been able to find!
Stop by the RailsWest History Museum to learn more about the history of the Rock Island Depot and train passenger travel in Council Bluffs!

Dennis DeBruler posted four images with the comment:
Static display of Rock Island and CB&Q cabooses at Rails West Museum in Council Bluffs, IA. (Former RI depot)
The first two images are from their web site:
The third image is from Google Maps
The fourth image is a 3D Satellite excerpt showing the RI caboose in the lower-right corner and the CB&Q caboose in the upper-left corner. Neither has yet to be restored. This image is older than 2016 because the chain link fence has yet to be installed.
