The GTW depot at Haskells was torn down in August, 1974 and the Westville depot in October, 1964.

The freighthouse at South Hammond built in 1953 was of limestone, not brick masonry.  The 1908 "triangular" passenger depot at Fayette St. was carved limestone (if that's the correct term).  There was no 1953 brick freighthouse on Lyman St.--that was the limestone-masonry joint MONON/Erie passenger depot and it was at about Milepost 21.1.  The downtown freighthouse at Fayette St. was wooden frame and was torn down around the same time at the triangular passenger depot 1 short block north. 

The roundhouse at Bedford was actually on the B&B branch, at about Milepost C-0.1
