Douglas: Then and Now

You can see the depot in the 1949 and 1990 aerials. This depot was one of the last Burlington Northern structures on the line until it was burned down in Dec. 1993.  It lasted almost 9 years after the line was removed. The structure just the the right of the depot on the 1949 aerial was used as an automobile ramp. It was removed in the early 70's.

Its interesting to note that there is a concrete foundation that you can see in the more current photos, of a grain elevator of some sort, but as it was built in 1951, and torn down before 1990, it does not show in the photos. How about a shot in the 1970s or so?
