This spot was a very busy spot in its day. Passenger trains would have been stopping several times a day. As very young kid I rode the train from Villisca to Red Oak for a school picnic. Very big deal back then. But as one can see, the trains are not stopping here anymore. But, there are still rolling across the country.
