In 1910,
a new brick depot was built and it is this building that many of the local people today refer to as "The Old
Depot" just north of the corner of 14th & Front Streets.
Its unique design was planned
to fit into the "Y" created by two merging railroad tracks. Its
elegant interior, with its tiled floors, served many passengers before the
last passenger train June 3, 1950. The building stayed empty
on the Union Pacific lot until October 19, 1987 when it was quickly demolished
with little input from the local citizens.
The tracks through Blair still
carry heavy west bound traffic. |
