Charles,
I apologize as I did not remember that I owned the book called "The Cheyenne
Lines", by Jack H. Gillette It just dawned on me that it was in my
possession and looking at the 1895 map and 1888,1904 timetables it does not
show Amen. Further reading on page 37 it states, "The original name of
Logan was Amen, named after the Amen family who owned land nearby. The town
was platted out, and soon thetre were two elevators, a general store, beet
dump, lumberyard, a few houses, and a blacksmith shop. The Sterling Post
Office supplied their mail. The name of Amen was changed to Logan in 1918
due to the strong prejudice of the German name during World War 1." They do
not discuss a depot and without the name showing up on the time tables or
maps I cannot answer that question. Glen Haug's email answers the question.

Subject: RE: [CBQ] Amen, Co - CB&Q stop in NE Colorado
According to the maps I have seen, Amen Colorado was the original name for
Logan Colorado, which is between Sterling and Cheyenne. I believe this
station was abandoned before the line was actually abandoned by BN.
Official mileage of this station in the timetable was MP 238.49, and there
was a depot located at MP 238.35.
The map also shows a sugar beet drum, elevator, stock yards, and an 1,118'
siding.

This is a great thing you are doing.recording history! I am putting a shout
out for any sources of information on an old CB&Q freight station in
northeastern Colorado. I am in possession of an original Colorado railroad
map from 1919 (or so is believed) that marks a stop by the name of "Amen" in
NE Colorado near Sterling. My grandfather and great-grandfather broke sod in
that area and I am curious about what might have actually been there as far
as buildings and type of train that ran on that line (model setup, O scale).
Thanks all!Chuck (Elmhurst, Illinois) charlesamen@att.netwouldn't it be nice
to think of these things before it's too late...
