    Train NSPEDM passes the former Rock Island depot at West Liberty, IA. Train is enroute to Des Moines to load up with grain.

    Looks a bit off, with the relationship of that depot to tracks. Having the other track now removed, which would illustrate the reason...

    Yeah, judging from looking at the Google Satellite image. The old tracks ran on the other side of the depot. Looks like a park sidewalk follows the right of way to the north. There appears to be a small section of rail south of where the diamond was pulled up too.

    That was the line from Cedar Rapids south thru West Liberty and points south.

    Wow. Eradicated. You can barely guess where tracks were. :(

    If you notice in the Google maps pic, where the little black steamer is at, that marks the spot of where the old right of way used to be.
