(2) On the IC at Champaign,IL -- June 1982
A couple of passenger cars back of the earlier IC station.
The car on the left -- possibly a lounge with the radio antenna remaining on the roof. I guess it could be either an IC or GM&O car. The other looks like a rebuilt heavyweight of some sort.

A nice water tower remained (22 years after the last of the IC steam).
The baggage had some lettering but I can't make it out -- narrow trucks on the car.

From what I've read the station to the right was built around 1898. In the 20's this station was moved about 100'north of its original position (remaining open during the move!). I would have liked to seen how they moved it.
The larger station to the left was built while part of the tracks were elevated. Platforms were on the elevated and ground area. It looks like most of them remained.

(1) UP stock car - with pigs - at Cheyenne -- November 1974
A lone stock car full of pigs at Cheyenne. I assume this was a loading area for "local" pigs?
It looks like the switcher crew in the background was about to enter the siding to pick up the car but I had no other pictures so I guess they did not.

Super Continental and Canadian at Winnipeg -- December 1980
The eastbound Super Continental (part of the consist on the left) combined with the eastbound Canadian from Winnipeg to Sudbury.
The combined consist is on the right.
The Canadian had arrived 1-2 hours earlier and long station stops were the norm during this time period.
