Berlin Depot

(Berlin's first depot before it burned to the ground in 1912.)

(The new brick depot built after the wooden one burnt down.)

 

Thanks to: http://godwin.bobanna.com for the Depot photos!

 

The Depot is still standing today and is now home to the Interurban depot cafe. The tracks ran right were state street is now and curved right behind the depot. There it would stop and drop off passengers and freight. From the depot it continued NW across 16th ave and crossed Sand creek on a small wooden bridge. From there it would continue on to other stops. Which are different stories, towns, and caches...

 

The Cache is a Pill bottle stashed in a clever fashion.

 

AS ALWAYS...

 

ENJOY!!!
