What is that old depot in your town used for today?

<P mce_keep="true">While it's certainly not my old depot (I never lived nearby), the old CNW depot in Dike, Iowa still stands on their former line from Belle Plaine. It's terribly weather-worn, all boarded-up and used (as best I could tell by peeking in) to store somebody's household junk. Even the guys who operate the grain elevator there didn't know who owned the structure when I snooped it out. Its' doors are locked but through the cracks I could see an awful lot of what might've been in Grandma Gerdie's attic. The old roadbed remains in that area, easily visible from Hwy. 20.</P>
