Yard: (Satellite, between 25th and 34th before Silvis Yard was built.)

| David Sebben posted I found this photo today and the caption says it's in East Moline, but probably Silvis in 1902. Andrew Brown Natick Yard in Moline just west of 34th St., now Midland Steel. The roundhouse still stands. |
Fans of Rock Island Lines posted two photos with the comment: "Old natick yard Moline Illinois. Two tracks furthest right are the rocks right of way. RH can be seen behind house on left. To me the walk way for the C.R.& P stations roof line can be seen bottom right of second pic."
[A comment talks about 13th St. and 4th Ave. Other comments gave the location of the Silvis Yard, which I think is wrong.]

An 1894 topo map is too old to show the yard.

| 1894/94 Davenport Quad @ 62,500 |
And a 1949 map is too new to show the yard. Unfortunately, there are no topo maps between these dates.
