MP 161.8 Centralia & Paducah Sub - here's what it looked like in the 1970s.

Based on this 1938 photo, I think this slab, https://maps.app.goo.gl/peD5HFqYpRVpG1zL9, was the foundation of the depot. The street along the left side of the photo is Victor Street.

The town had a lot of coal mines, that is why there is so much railroad action in the area.

The branch that went south of Concord to the P&I Bridge over the Ohio River must have been built after 1902.
