T. P. Bruss General Very nice photograph, too bad the depot is gone now. 11/18/2013 2:53:25 AM
Mark Dinkel General It surprised me when this depot was demolished. It literally was there one day and completely gone the next. I walk my dogs in this area and the Santa Fe freight station continued to be occupied by the Kansas and Oklahoma railroad (K&O) and was in fairly decent shape. Sure it needed some paint and maybe a new roof. The grain elevators in this area dominate the skyline of downtown Salina but have been vacant for a long time as grain storage has moved to the outskirts of the city. A wrecking ball is currently working on one elevator and may be moving to the others. 11/18/2013 7:55:33 AM
