| American-Rails.com posted Monon C420 #507 leads a southbound manifest across the Penn Central (ex-New York Central) and Elgin, Joliet & Eastern at Dyer, Indiana on March 27, 1971. David Hawkins collection. Jeff Ewoldt: Note the International Harvester combine, manufactured in East Moline, Illinois. [Some comments discuss the high signals by the depot concerning train orders. Others discuss the car with the man sticking out of it.] Bill Molony shared |

The red rectangle identifies the depot and the yellow rectangle is for the junction tower.

MONON F3A 208 with Train 5, The Thoroughbred, rounding a curve after crossing the NYC and EJ&E at Dyer, Indiana on February 10, 1963.Since Marty indicated that a different picture with Train 6 was northbound, this train would be southbound.
I believe the building on the right is the depot.
