| Daviess | Wabash | 1975 building still exists |
| These photos were donated by, and the comments below are by Gary Roe. Lock Springs is on the Wabash 18th District Main Line at Mile Post 238.1. The photo was taken looking eastward toward Chillicothe. Just over a mile to the west (behind the photographer), is where the Wabash crosses the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific main line between Chicago and Kansas City at grade. I feel certain that there was a standard wooden depot at this location originally; but I have never seen a photo of it. This "station" would be replaced in later years by a very small metal building similar to the one at Triplett, 44 miles down the track. In the second photo, the photographer is looking westerly toward Council Bluffs and the Rock Island crossing. This building was in the same location as the old passenger car was. |
| Received the following information from Jason Mitchell in July 2007. Thanks Jason. The 1975 Wabash depot in Lock Springs is still standing. |
