Text of plaque:
This statue was placed here by Station
Carbondale, Inc. through donations from people dedicated to the
preservation of Carbondale's railroad history.
The first train came to Carbondale, July 4,
1854. As many as 53 passenger trains passed through here each
day at the peak of our railroad activity. We salute our
railroaders for their hard work and dedication to their
profession.
