Pete is right about the timeframe.
I have a CTC diagram and bulletin from the Superintendent at St. Joseph
Division dated November 13, 1959. It references St. Joseph division
timetable no. 4 which became effective October 25, 1959. The CTC diagram
shows the new depot.
The first paragraph reads:
"Effective 10 01 AM, November 18, 1959, St. Joseph - Pacific Junction
subdivision of the St. Joseph Division, Centralized Traffic Control will
be in service from MP 61.87 (immediately south of the Middle Yard
crossing) to MP 64.16 (north of Francis Street)."
The north limits would be beyond the old Union Depot.
