Rail-fan Pictures of Monmouth Depot
This little shop seems to be one of the many small "corn" shops that once dotted the rail lines across the state. The use of the word "corn" indicated to a farmer any crop that grew kernels on an ear or the end of a stalk. Potatoes were also a common fare and they were set up to handle any less than carload freight in a boxcar, or on a flat car.
It was built in 1894-95 of a wood construction, and is now under the care of the Monmouth Museum. A passenger station once stood in the area of the parking lot across the tracks.
