Jeff,

These two photos in my computer files show the Kokomo depot, after it was moved from its original "downtown" location (in Doug's posted photo) up to the C&S mainline, to its final location just down grade from the snow shed covered cut and the trestle over the D&RG grade.  Both date from after abandonment, c1940.

I'm sorry but I cannot reference the source of the photos, both attributed either to Richard B Jackson or Jackson Thode (don't know which Jackson!), added to my files years ago



Note the grade of the spur leading downtown in the foreground, the position of the handcar shed and outfit car body.



The second photo is from behind the depot, up the hillside above the grade and shows a second outfit car body and outhouse, as well as a view of "downtown" Kokomo in the distance.  

I believe I have a copy of the Kokomo article that has been discussed.  I will look for it and possibly send you a copy.
