First IC Station |
| Description: |
The former IC station now houses a very popular restaurant, "The Black Dog." We had our first vegetarian jackfruit barbeque there - shockingly very good. It was difficult to realize that it wasn't meat and this comes from a meat lover! |

First IC Station |
| Description: |
This would be the back side of the station that would have faced a parking lot in its original location. Today it still looks on a parking lot that serves the "Black Dog" restaurant inside. |
