Western Railroad Discussion > After the SpecialDate: 07/11/18 10:31 After the Special Author: twjurgens After getting shots of the special yesterday, we went back to Union where 1621, 1125. and UPY 620 were preparing to depart with the Falls City local.
The original depot sat about where the 2 sheds are now in the wider view. The hotel (now apartments) in that view is typical of many railroad junction towns.

Those cars would have been brought to Union by the Louisville turn. That train runs Union - Weeping Water - Louisville and return.
