JF0257 - K 50 - 1934 Benchmark at the Florence, KS Train Depot - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

The JF0257 benchmark is mounted at the top of a large concrete monument that was placed between the thick wooden stanchions extending into the parking area on the east side of the old train depot in Florence, KS. These wood stanchions probably divide the area into the passenger portion of the train depot and the freight delivery portion of the depot station. At the time of posting, the depot was decaying quickly, but the comments from a geocaching post indicated that the leadership of Florence have begun planning how to restore the depot into a repurposed facility.

The disc is marked as a benchmark. The PID is JF0257. The disc is stamped with the name of K 50, with a date stamped as 1934. This benchmark is in good condition.
