Nickel Plate Road Depot - Knox, Indiana |
| Description: |
Built in in 1882 when the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad was built through the county. It was used as a passenger station until 1965 and as a freight station until 1984. When the depot was no longer needed as a maintenance building for RR crews in 1992, it was sold to the Starke County Historical Society. Because the RR would not let the Society restore the depot at their location, the depot was moved north 1/2 mile to the site of the abandoned New York Central RR tracks, now called Gateway. It now serves a a visitor center on US 35 in the north end of Knox, IN. It is the only remaining depot in the county, although the Hoosier Valley RR Museum in North Judson has constructed a new "old" depot at their complex. Thanks to David Krebs for suppliying the NW caboose number - #518699. An unknown photographer took the photo. The date is approximate. |
