Roundhouse: (Satellite, I wonder what is left under that vegetation.)
Depot: (Satellite)
Railyard: (Satellite)

CMO = Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, which was known as the Omaha Road.

Someone wanted to see a photo of the C&NW in St. James, Minnesota. The best we could do is to show this one of the OMAHA roundhouse in St. James at an early date possibly in the late 1870s.

Both of the routes through town were labeled C&NW in 1970. I presume the lower route was the Omaha Road.

The grain elevator is big and does have a fall protector, so is it served by UP? This is the first time I've seen a fall protector painted grey instead of yellow.
