Kenton, OH: Office/Big Four Depot and Wood Grain Elevator

Depot: (Satellite)
Elevator: (Satellite)

NYC abandoned the route to the south and Penn Central abandoned the route to the north.

The water tower peaking over the depot is a reminder that a railroad built towns about every 15 miles for a water supply.

Shawn Nielson: It is still there and is an insurance agency though the tracks are long gone.

In 1944, both the TOC and Big Four are labeled NYC. So I went back to 1915 to find which NYC route was the Big Four.
1915 Kenton Quad @ 62,500

Since the Big Four went north/south through town, I zoomed in on that route.

This is not the same grain elevator, but it is old. Judging from the feed truck in the middle, this was an active feed mill in 2014.
