    1500/4100 class were too tall over the stack for the MP Barretts tunnels.

    Edit 3/17/2024: The depot is on the right and a two rut road is on the old right-of-way roadbed.

    The passenger train is eastbound on the Rolla Subdivision.

    It has just knocked down the semaphore signal, who's blade is in the process of dropping to the red horizontal stop position.

    The westbound main semaphore signal blade is in the green vertical up position giving a clear or proceed indication.

    Beyond the westbound signal, note the derail sigh and to its right the low level switch stand near the end of the siding.

    View looking west northwest.

    Don,

    Where is that switch/turnout track coming from or leads to?

    The St. Louis NRHS newsletter had picture of this and that is what led me back to this site.

    I have never seen it but kept the directions so friends and I can look for it.

    Beautiful building.

    It is truly very nice what they had done to it to make it a home and preserve the basic structure's look and appeal.

    It's a lot bigger than it was as a depot.

    Still the same look, however.
