Farmington IA: Home/CB&Q and Rock Island Depot

(Satellite)

No street view driver went west on State Street so I could not see the track side.

Fortunately, Facebook provides a view of the track side. I'm glad they retained the train order signal.

Colin Harding: According to my 1940 Official Guide, Farmington on both CB&Q and Rock Island...not sure which line this station is.
Heidi Haller Schutt: Colin Harding it had both lines. 2 tracks. One on each side of the building

Actually, it appears the CB&Q tracks joined the Rock Island tracks for a couple of blocks so that they both used the track side of the depot. I could not find any aerial photos of this town to try to verify that there were no tracks on the east side.
