Abingdon was on the double track ABS until CTC installed and single tracked
in 1960
The depot was a brick structure located north of what is the down town area
the brick(Purlington)paved road down to it was still there years ago when I
lived west of town.
My back property line was the old M&StL ROW.  The M&StL bridge shows as
being  55  foot Thru Plate Girder.  Just south of there was a road bridge
with three 34 foot steel spans with one 24 foot  and one 28 foot timber
approach.  It would really groan when you took a big truck load of corn over
it.  There were four other typical wood truss over head bridges some have
been closed or replaced..  There was a house track,  a track to the pottery
and on the east side an elevator track to the Abingdon Elevator.  I ground
and bought a lot of feed there but can not remember taking a photo of it.
Was a nice wood elevator with a block warehouse south of it.
