The CS didn't run through Sidney NE. The line through Sidney was built by
the Denver & Montana on behalf of the CBQ. The CBQ depot in Sidney was a
2-story wooden depot on the south side of the UP main at the south end of
the fill to overpass the UP. It's been gone for years (I don't recall the
death date but I did photograph it in the 1970's.)
