1: An overview of the yard area. There's almost nothing left. Looking toward the mainline.

2: The approximate location of the freight house. Looking toward the mainline.

3: The location of the New Albany and Salem's original passenger station/freight station/repair shop/locomotive factory. One convenient location, for all your railroad needs. Looking away from the mainline.

4: This pile of crumbling rock once held up a track running along the side of the depot/shops. Looking away from the mainline.

5: This building is also original to the New Albany and Salem, possibly their first corporate offices. And it's for sale, if anyone (MRHTS?) wants to own this piece of history.

6: Another angle of the New Albany and Salem offices, showing the back.

7: Taken from the Culbertson Avenue crossing. Looking toward the mainline.

8: The Culbertson Avenue crossing. Looking away from the mainline.

9: The remains of a siding running alongside the former Anchor Stove and Range Company. Looking away from the mainline.

10: The remains of a siding running into the former Anchor Stove and Range Company. Looking away from the mainline.

11: This caboose sits at the entrance to the Padgett facility, and marks the location of the founding of the New Albany and Salem. It's not ex-Monon, actually being WAB2742, but it's a nice sentiment.

12: Right next to the caboose is this historical marker.

13: Back side of the historical marker.

14: The gravesite of James Brooks in Fairview Cemetery, fittingly only about 200 feet from the railroad he founded. Yellow daisies courtesy of me.

15: The remains of the yard lead, branching off from the mainline just north of Grant Line Road. Looking away from the mainline.

16: A close up of part of the yard lead. There are still a couple rails lying around.

17: Looking across Bridge 316.7, which also happens to be the southernmost bridge the Monon owned. Looking south toward Louisville.

18: Taken from the South Street crossing. Looking north toward Chicago.
