Aberdeen, MS, Columbus Subdivision, Aberdeen Branch, MP 622.6

I didn't know there was a freight depot in Aberdeen proper until now.

I found an interesting page on abandoned rails about East Aberdeen.

When the Tennessee-Tom Bigbee Waterway was built (1972-1984), the Amory-Columbus line, from a point near the Monroe County Airport down to a point just south of the old Hwy 8 / old Hwy 45 intersection, was relocated to the east, abandoning East Aberdeen. The spur into Aberdeen had to be relocated with a new bridge.

There is a mostly abandoned industrial park area on the north side of Aberdeen along Meridian St. between downtown and Short St. / Hamilton St. where the M&O, I.C., & the KCM&B/SLSF all interchanged. The M&O came into Aberdeen from the Southwest via Mobile St., Northeast to Railroad St. before curving Southeast to the SLSF & IC interchanges near Clinton, Dr. and N Maple St. I have been to that area on a few occasions to hunt for old rails still in the pavement.

The M&O operated in Aberdeen from 1870 until the merger that formed the GM&O in 1940.

The CA&N, operated as a subsidiary of I.C., came to Aberdeen in 1888.

The KCM&B (later SLSF) came to nearby Amory in 1887.

When did the KCM&B reach Aberdeen, MS on its route from Amory, MS to Columbus, MS?

What was the address, at least a rough idea, of the Aberdeen freight depot?
