[CBQ] Depot interior question

["Douglas Harding" <doug.harding@iowacentralrr.org>]

List last Saturday I had the opportunity to see the interior of the CB&Q depot 
in Milton, IA. In the freight room was a small room
suspended from the rafters and accessible via a ladder fastened to the wall. I 
was told a bed was found in the room, but that
would have been when the town took over the depot. The railroad stopped running 
in Milton in 1969, I have no idea when the town
acquired the building.

I have created a new photo album "Milton IA" and uploaded two photos I took of 
this room. I can get access and take additional
photos if needed.

Does anyone have any ideas of what the room was used for and why it was built 
the way it was built?
