LL0213 X 136 -- Greeley CO - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This handsome depot was built in 1930 and used for passenger trains until 1982. It was closed in 1983, and sat vacant for nearly a decade, before being rehabilitated for use by the Greeley Chamber if Commerce.

The benchmark was set by the NGS in 1934, when steam engines still pulled luxury passenger rail cars through here.
