Now and Then Platte Canyon video

Kurt Maechner
I found this video fading from Maddow, Shawnee in 1929, with a string of C&S boxcars in the center, to 2011, panning over to Platte Canyon High School on Youtube.

Is this area called Maddow or Shawnee?  The Youtube poster listed both in the description.  
Enjoy,
Kurt

Kurt,

Maddox was an Ice harvesting location with a 48car siding at M.P.58.3, just upgrade was Shawnee(originally called Riceville) at M.P.59.6 (Poor in D.S.P.&P. lists this at M.P.60) with a 2car single ended siding: in between was Slaght's/Altruria at M.P.58.9.

To provide a definite answer the school is located opposite the site of Maddox.  Maddow I believe is something on a US TV station.
