Connersville, IN: B&O and Big Fours Depot and Whitewater Valley Museum

B&O Depot: (Satellite, currently used by CSX as a MoW office.)
Amshack: (Satellite)
Big4 Depot: (Satellite, currently used by Whitewater Valley Railroad as a depot, 819 photos)
Railroad Display: (Satellite)

CSX is obviously using the B&O depot as a MoW office. The Amtrak station is the little brick shack on the right that was built by the Rotary Club.

The Big Four depot is now used for the tourist trains run by the Whitewater Valley Railroad (WWVS). (The satellite image showed some big trees between the road and the track. I wonder why they were cut down. It does make it easier to get a street view of the depot.)

The WWVS has a railroad display south of town. The depot is from Rushville, IN, and the B&O tower is from Lawrenceburg, IN. [csxsociety, this website has a lot more photos of this display.]

Dennis DeBruler: I could not find this display on a satellite map. Would you provide GPS coordinates, street address or a nearby street intersection?

Thanks. I learned that the depot came from Rushville, IN, and the tower came from Lawrenceburg, IN. https://maps.app.goo.gl/kEhUcuSjeGE2SMYp8
