Platform shelter
Title:  Platform shelter
Description:  This was an interesting structure. There was a covered walkway to the main building. Presumably, riders would use this to await an imminent train with some shelter from the sun and rain. Doesnt look like too many people could stand under it, through. On the other hand, this aint exactly Penn Station.

Joplin Union Depot
Title:  Joplin Union Depot
Description:  Leading up to Union Depot was a covered walkway, or “Port Cochere.” On November 3, 1969, the last train visited Union Depot. Now, the depot sits idle, fenced off, its walls adorned with graffiti. Hopeful individuals have been trying to save and restore the building for decades with little to no success. In 1973, the building was nominated by the Centennial Commission, Union Depot becomes the first building in Joplin to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
