The railroad junction near Washington Street and Fourth Avenue, as shown in a postcard. This railroad line is on the opposite side of Chartiers Creek from the Abbott Ice and Packing Plant, so the station was not used to unload livestock for the plant. According to the 1896 Sanborn Insurance map, the tracks along Fourth Avenue belonged to the R. C. C. & St. L. Railroad and the track along Washington Avenue is the Washington Branch Railroad.
