Category: Mystery Location
This mystery photo was submitted by Ricky Bivins. If you think you know the answer, be ready to submit it at the May meeting in Hopkinsville Monday, May 15.
There is no submission for this feature this month. If you have a “spot” you’d like to submit, please do so. Get a photo that does not reveal the location. If you have an old photo but it contains the location, drop it off at Coldwell Banker Terry & Associates, 1096 North Main St, Madisonville, and I will scan it, then return the photo to you. I can “fuzz” out the identity if necessary. Please put your photo in an envelop clearly marked with my name, your name, phone number, email, etc. Mona Forker, our receptionist will put it in my mail box.
Touching on our discussion topic last month, seen here is an L&N depot in Kentucky. Do you know where?? Take your best guess! – Submitted by Donny & Betty Knight
Remember that guesses will be taken at meeting time and thrown into a hat. The first name drawn with the correct answer will get first pick of the items that are up for raffle.
This is the old station sat on trackage running from Gracey, KY to Clarksville, TN. The station was finally torn down early this year.
The initial railroad was the Indiana, Alabama and Texas Railroad and later the L&N. The line was built in the 1850’s and abandoned in 1934.

This depot is located on a branchline that began in Madisonville and headed west, but never left the state of Kentucky. This line handled passenger trains regularly with baggage, mail and the works, plus considerable freight and lots of coal and farm products since it serviced a big livestock area. The line started in 1882 and then the tracks were removed from the Madisonville area roughly 35 years ago.
