Sorry, the sheds at the C&NW station are there, but their new ones. The old one was removed about five years ago.I live in Iowa and often Amtrak to New York City (Mile Post 0) and other places.Between trains if time permits I walk over to the C&NW station to visit the food court or just check it out. I've been doing this since 1968.....Lance
