The depot was moved in 1891 across the High Bridge so that it could serve all three branches of the PM and be closer to downtown.

This is worth noting because it proves that CSX does serve some grain elevators. But I could not find it on a satellite map. If you know where it is, please leave a comment. Actually, it was the size of the two jump-form silos that first caught my eye.
