Re: (rshsdepot) Existing stations in New Jersey?
I don't want to dog on the folks at RSHS; that's a big job and a useful
reference to me in my travels. In fact, I need to send in my
application for membership.
However, I found at least three errors while cross-referencing your
website with their database, while looking for depot photos to share
with you:
1) The building listed as a depot at Ash Fork, AZ (and now being used
as a MOW office) was, in fact, the freight house. The depot, along with
the Escalante Harvey House, was torn down some years ago. Nothing
remains but a monument with a couple of plaques on or near that site.
2) The Amtrak station in Flint, MI has a date of 1885, but is obviously
the more modern transportation center and is located nowhere near the
GTW and PM depots, which were torn down some years ago.
3) The locations of the GTW and MC/NYC depots in Lapeer, MI are reversed.

Or, are you saying you'd like that information to be displayed when you click the "display all images" icon?
