From looking at the tall straight stack, box oil burning headlight, ornate bell, sand dome with rolled edge and steam chest, I say the locomotive shown is a CB&Q Class A-2 4-4-0 type that would've been typical secondary line passenger train power for the 1904 era. Since the mainline and siding tracks are ballasted with dirt, there's a high probability that this image shows the first train into the depot, particularly so since many in the crowd are wearing their Sunday best.

Ken, Conrad & Bill Archie,  Than ks for all the help and replies.   I do have the pictures and for fun see the one I have posted.  I was thinking the loco in the picture is a 4-4-0, but maybe someone can say for sure.  Several have speculated that the occasion was the arrival of the first train in 1904.  As a youth I played on the old bridge many times and last year visited the station in Wellsville.  Like most kids I never gave one thought that I would even care about what was going on around me at some future date!

I have seen a photo of the tank at Hawk Point and as far as I know there were stock pens and a sale barn in New Truxton.  there was also a Granary, the old type from when the grain was sacked and loaded in boxcars that way.  I have not been able to find a site plan with the layout of buildings & facilities near the station but Locals tell me the pens and Granary were east of the station I do have a photo of the station with the Granary in the background.

Was there a Burlington Bulletin on the short line?  If so can anyone loan a copy or let me know if I can buy a back issue for our museum? 

Conrad, I have very confusing information on the abandonment, one source said it was 1976 and another said 1985 but that is wrong for sure. I have tried to pin things down more precisely by going to the government records with no luck.  There is supposedly a color picture of a BN GP-30 at New Truxton with a crew pulling up the rails, but in years of searching I have never found a copy.  The dates you give of 1982 1983 make more sense and I am wondering if you have any more details about it, or where I can find some paper records for the museum.  I did a search on the contractor but came up with nothing there. 

This has turned out to be a lot of fun  for me and I very much appreciate all the replies and stories.  I will await the story about the Belleville station!!
