Re: (erielack) January 2008 calendar photo

The old Salamanca depot nee yard office was still standing the last I knew 
and I think the Secena Indians tried to take it over. I don"t know what the 
out come was. Also the large red brick building across the Subway St was the 
old BR&P, B&O depot. At the present it is a Rail Museum. Who runs I don"t 
know. Jerry H. 3294
