The passenger / freight station at Manawa.

The 24'x64' station at Manawa was built in 1898.  It was retired from use in June 1951.  Although it was still standing as late as 1989, I visited the area in September 2000 and it had been removed by then.

Beyond the station is a small stock yard which served the area.  Here is a 1912 view from the stock yards.  Besides the two mainline tracks in the foreground, there were two "house tracks" behind the depot.  You can see a boxcar with an open door on one of the house tracks immediately to the right of the depot in the photo.

This view is from an undated postcard.  I wonder who is standing in the doorway of the station?
