Couldn't be the St. Joseph, MO depot. I grew up there and barely remember
the Union Station depot on the east side of 6th street south of downtown St.
Jo. I don't have the date that it was demolished, but would say that it had
to have been in the 50's or earlier. I boarded one of the last CB&Q
passenger runs in about 1966 or so - but it left from the new "modern" depot
at the north end of the yard. That depot was picked up by Amtrak until the
end of service - then used by a drywall supply company and later for
storage. Last time I was in St. Jo, it was also gone.
They DO have a reconstructed Q depot inside the Patee House museum along
with a HStJ steamer and replica mail car. Worth seeing. Also a Q 4-8-4 in
a city park.

Hubert,
Is that St Joe MO? If so do you have an address?
Thanks,
