The CB&Q maps for Palmyra, Mo. show reference to an old depot on South Main Street on the H&StJ line. This was at MP 14.01. This is probably the reason for the distinction between Palmyra and Palmyra Jct.
The H&StJ line came into Palmyra from the south, and after passing that depot, it made almost a 180 degree turn to connect with the line from Quincy, before heading (south)west. The distance from MP 0 at Hannibal was about 0.1 mile more than from Quincy, so
there was an equation at the original junction between the two lines, at MP 14.84(H) = MP 14.75(Q). The brick depot in the photo was about 0.1 mile before reaching the junction switch, at MP 14.72 coming from Hannibal, and MP 14.63 coming from Quincy.
The junction switch was later moved, and the Hannibal line ended on the control siding at MP 14.99, until what remained of it was converted to side track.

OK, where's Palmyra Junction?
Note that Ruperts list shows a Palmyra MO and a Palmyra Junction MO. Looks like two locations.

Just to add to the confusion, I’ve attached a list of Palmyra’s from the 1910 Official Guide.

Not sure about #1, but #2 is MO and #3 is NE.
Never Palmyra referred to as junction. Don't see the second track in 1.
This guy needs some help.
There were/are two CB&&Q railroad stations named Palmyra. One in Missouri, the other in Nebraska. In the BRHS Flickr Photo Albums there are three photos that are labeled as being Palmyra MO. They all are very different looking station buildings.
My question to my expert friends is: Are all of three of these depot photos in BRHS Flickr collection of Palmyra
MO as stated, or could one or two be Palmyra NE?
Attached are the three station photos. Also attach are two Google Map views of the
likely location of each depot. And finally, a screen capture of the station data from the Q-Rail-Network feature in the Members Only area.
I am in need to know where these photos were taken so that I am correctly capture the information for them into the BRHS Photo Library's database.
I am linking the station photos in the BRHS Flickr collection to the BRHS Photo "search database". This means that when members run searches for photos of Q railroad stations it will return not only the photos in the BRHS Photo Library but also the photos in
the BRHS Flickr Photo collection. The BRHS Photo search engine only links to the photos in the Flickr files. Below is an example. This search returned information from the BRHS Photo database regarding this photo and the image is 'imported' on the fly from
the Flickr Albums system. The photo is not stored on the BRHS Photo server. The public photo searches will not include these Flickr photos, only the Members Only site will.

How am I doing? Great! 372 photos linked, only 32,628 photo to go.
