[RITSlist] Depots in Eastern Colorado/Western Kansas

[Richard Gill]

The Goodland station building, a flat-roofed masonry structure at the south end of Main Street, dates to about the mid-1950s.  It was erected a few hundred feet west of a frame station building that was built around 1910.  The last time  I was in  Goodland, in 1996, that older building was gone.  Some time in the 50s, a dust storm blew through, and when it ended, the leaky old station had several inches of dirt in it.  As I recall, the  new station was built shortly thereafter. The new station was built with a small waiting room, ticket office, operations office, and a raised loading dock next to a short stub-end station track.

I am planning a little road trip with a friend to
check out the old Rocky Mountain Rocket line from
Limon to Phillipsburg in a couple months.  In
particular, we are going to stop and photograph all
the depots still in existence.

Could anyone verify that these towns still have depots
to see?

Phillipsburg, KS
Colby, KS (?)
Goodland, KS
Burlington, CO
Bethune, CO
Stratton, CO (?)
Limon, CO

Also, anyone know of any depots on this line that I
have missed?  Any information is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Eric
