A Caboose: (Satellite)

Bobby Becker posted three photos with the comment:
Another view of the beautiful Wabash Caboose on display in Monon, Indiana along with Monon equipment. The Monon Railroad, formally the Chicago Indianapolis & Louisville, crossed the Wabash mainline in nearby Delphi, Indiana. That is now Norfolk Southern's line across Indiana and Illinois to St. Louis.Only short sections of the Monon remain.There is a restaurant here containing more rail related items and lots of local history. The food isn't bad, either!

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Dennis' share Mark Niceley: I understand the one at the Monon, IN, crossing is actually an EJ&E Caboose, disguised as a Monon one. But it's the thought that counts!! |
It appears that none of the street view drivers got off the main drag (US-421) in this town. This is the best view I could get of the depot. I think CSX still uses it.

Even though this building is rather new looking, I think it was the depot because:
- It parallels the mainline between Chicago and Indianapolis.
- It is next to the original north/south route.
- It is consistent with a 1957 aerial photo.
- It has a bay window with a dormer.
I'm surprised that this topo map did not mark the depot in the correct location.
