Depot location question

[NW Mailing List]

The building in the Richlands picture is not the Richlands depot. It is a service building located inside the Richlands wye adjacent to the sparks tracks. Richlands had a substantial brick depot built in 1890 east of the location in the photograph.

I find it interesting that a dinky, ancient little depot structure like the one shown in the photo would sport a great big Color Light Train Order and/or Block Signal.  That is about as incongruous as using a VW Beetle to tow a trailer and a 35 foot cabin cruiser !

 

Experiment?  Nah, they didn't do experiments that far away from the Headquarters staff responsible for watching experiments.
