The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy (CB&Q) depot in David City, Nebraska, was constructed in 1915, replacing an earlier building. Passenger service ended in 1953, but the depot continued as an office for the station agent handling freight, until the Burlington Railroad closed it in 1969. In 1970, the depot was donated to the Butler County Historical Society,  my picture from 4-02-18

The Depot Museum in David City is open today [May 31, 2025] from 1 to 4. It's always a great day to visit the museum!

It is on the branch from Lincoln to Columbus.
1902

BNSF still owns that branch. I wonder what plant justifies keeping that branch active. (Update: the ADM corn processing plant.)
