A few feet from where the Stony Creek
Line crosses West Point Pike is a solitary piece of
track.
It has been there since 1882, give or take a year.

This forlorn, orphaned and lonely piece
of rail once had an important function.
|
|
|
It was part of a trestle that carried
train cars to the rear of 1828 West Point Pike.
This building was Heebner and Kriebel's Feed Mill, built
in 1919 after the original building was destroyed in a
fire.

The rear of the mill building.
The
trestle was dismantled in the 1990's, leaving the
loading dock doors eight feet off the ground.
Which poses a burning question!
Since no one has been able to reach the
loading dock doors in years...

....after all this
time does someone in West Point still love Stacie?
Who was Stacie? Who wrote this and when? |

Note: This page and
the photos on it are from 2009.
In 2023 this
historic building was demolished. It's now an empty lot
surrounded by a chain link fence. |
