Western Railroad Discussion > UP's Abilene, Kansas, Freight HouseDate: 09/17/23 14:52 UP's Abilene, Kansas, Freight House Author: cozephyr Amazed to find former Union Pacific freight house at Abilene, Kansas, with ornate styling mirroring the passenger station which still stands a block away. Freight house is now occupied by Geske Interiors. Photos taken 16 September 2023.

the vintage of the building? Odyssey Evergreen, CO Date: 09/18/23 07:45 Re: UP's Abilene, Kansas, Freight House Author: santafe199 I can remember being fascinated with this "other depot" in my 2nd hometown. I say other depot because a 5-6 year old kid doesn't know any better. I first shot in Abilene as a railfan back in '76. I was still in my super-duper Instamatic days, but I'm quite sure this building was still functioning as a freight depot. And I have no idea when the transition to non-RR function occurred. I wish I'd had sense enough to shoot it as a RR structure! Sigh.......
