Former Rockport Depot

This town was at the end of a CB&Q branch in 1944.

But the CB&Q used to continue South. It evidently shared the GM&O Bridge across the Mississippi River.

When I saw that it used to go further south, I got an older topo map. So the grain elevator used to be close to the railroad.
