Blue Hill, NE: 1912 Preserved/CB&Q Depot

(Satellite)

All the street view drivers drove right past this town on US-281. I wanted to get closer looks at the grain elevator and microwave tower in the right background using street views.

Blue Hill, Neb., depot. Built in 1912. Agency closed at end of business Sept. 22, 1982, and mobile agency based there moved to Hastings. Still on active BNSF line from Hastings to Superior. East-west line from DeWitt to Hildreth abandoned in stages in the 1990s.

The north/south route still exists, but the east west route is abandoned.
1969/71 Blue Hill Quad @ 24,000

The east/west route was redundant with their mainline to Denver.
