This is the PRR depot that was in Bedford Pa.

Keith Burkey: The former-PRR passenger station in Bedford was demolished in the 1970s.

A little better photo of the station in 1875.

 

It appears that there were three grain elevators west of the depot.

I think the wood elevator in the middle of this facility was the one in the middle of the aerial photo.

I used the verb "was" because this is the later view. It looks like the fertilizer supply part of the co-op might have survived.

Street View, Sep 2026

But Google Maps labels the co-op as "permanently closed." This view showing a lot of fertilizer spreader equipment is several years old.

Their website lists three other locations. And at least one of them has a modern feed mill. That would explain why this one was torn down.

This map shows an industrial spur that used to serve the southern grain elevator.

The two rectangles east of Richard Street are extant. But neither one of them is a depot.

The roundhouse has been replaced by a diesel-service building.

Southern Pacific used to be all over the place here.

Now Coos Bay Rail Line operates the branch towards the ocean and Central Oregon & Pacific operates the other branch to the south.

Mullet Lake, MI: Residence/Michigan Central Depot

**Michigan Central Depot at Mullett Lake, Michigan**

Adults and children gather outside the Michigan Central depot at Mullett Lake. A child stands in the open doorway. The little station has a steep corner roof, broad eaves and signs reading “Mullet Lake.”

The railroad reached the community in 1881, helping the lakeshore settlement grow. A 1925 passenger timetable places Mullet Lake between Birchwood and Cheboygan on the route to Mackinaw City. The depot later became a private residence, giving the old station another use after its railroad years.

The railroad is now a trail.

Saluda, NC: Museum/Southern Depot

Original: (Satellite, so why was it moved over a bridge in 1983?)

Current: (Satellite)

The claim to fame of Saluda, NC, is that it is at the summit of the Saluda Grade.

Street View, Dec 2016

There was a gap in the dates for the street views so the incredible growth of the trees by the sidewalk was emphasized.

Saluda Depot Museum posted

Did You Know in 1983 the Saluda Depot was moved to its present location to help preserve this important piece of railroad history? 

Though now sitting perpendicular to Main Street and the tracks, the Depot retains its original architectural character. The move helped ensure that this important part of Saluda’s railroad story would be preserved for generations to come!

Come by the Saluda Depot Museum in Saluda, NC to learn more about the historic depot and railroad history of Saluda, NC.

Museum Hours:

Thursday-Saturday 12-4PM

Sunday 1-4PM

This photo caused me confusion because I read the caption as the depot was on the bridge. Looking closer, it must be on the road that goes to the bridge. But I can't reconcile this photo with a satellite map.

"Depot being moved across bridge in 1983."

A comment said the depot was north of the tracks. And the photos show that it was near a curve in the road. So the depot was the rectangle on the left side of this excerpt. This is when I realized that the depot was never moved over the bridge.

Saline, MI: 1870 NYC/LS&MS Depot and 1906 LS&MS/GTW Caboose

(Satellite)

Street View, Jun 2024

Matthew Jackson posted six photos with the comment:

Former GTW caboose (Saline, Michigan)

This former GTW caboose can be seen on display at the Saline Depot museum. The tracks are former Lakeshore and Michigan Southern that used to connect Ann Arbor to towns like Hillsdale, Michigan and Elkhart, Indiana. These tracks that run by the Saline depot are now widely overgrown except for a small portion that have been uncovered for a rail trail. The museum and a few other restored buildings have been on display on the site since July of 1995.

The caboose is a former Grand Trunk caboose #77954. It has been cosmetically altered to resemble a period accurate Lakeshore and Michigan Southern caboose that would have passed by the 1870 built depot.

The pictures included were from two separate visits: one in December of 2021, and the other on May of 2023.

I think this is a printing adding machine. It is on a desk in the caboose.

SAE Miller, May 2025

I think the museum pulled the handle so that it would be visible in the above photo. Normally it would be beside the machin,e and you pulled it to add a number and print it. This photo, in the backround, shows the normal resting place for the handle beside the machine.

The town also has a farm museum on the east side.
