Great stuff!

The 1893 DL&G inventory shows a 1214' siding at Kokomo.  This must be the siding that forms one leg of the later wye.  (The inventory doesn't mention the Wilfley spur, so we can assume the wye doesn't yet exist.)

Allen's notes then give the Kokomo depot being built in 1895.  He has the water tank at 132.2, the snowshed at 132.7, and the depot & platform at 132.9.  This also matches the location of the siding.  (The later mainline depot location is before the snowshed, so about 132.6.)

Both Dimmler and Allen have the depot at 16' x 28', so one presumes it's the same depot, which must have been moved twice.
