The postcard of the day is a circa 1912 view of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis (The Big Four) beautiful and unusual railroad depot. The depot is a combination of stone and brick with a massive turret and that white spot in the window at the base of the turret appears to be a ticket seller talking to a customer. A bonus with this track side view is an engine taking on water and a man with a white flag at the edge of the railroad crossing to direct traffic. This postcard is available in theIndiana Postcards section of Moody's Postcard website.

Oh, the wonderful memories of watching Foster L. Newton in the "Round House", or occasionally handing off instruction notes to an approaching train via the Y-stick! It was truly an historic, beautifully designed and well-built structure. . .yet was destroyed by its towns people in recent years.
