First Blair Railroad
Depot
The First Sioux
City & Pacific depot at Blair, Nebraska was built near the center
of town shortly after the track was completed in 1869. The
second more elaborate depot was constructed at the crossing with the
CStPM&O two blocks further east in 1880. The 24' x 64' frame
structure was set at an angle to accommodate both railroads. The
photo shows this depot and a SC&P train about 1910 The Omaha
Road track and crossing is just the other side of the depot.
