During the Great Flood of 2011 here in Vicksburg, I was contacted back in May by Robert McDonald of
Port Townsend, Washington, who wanted to use my photo showing the old train depot station. I gave him permission and he was just as upset as I was of our 1906 historic
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad Station going underwater and why it was not protected. The depot museum was being renovated at the time with a 1.6 million dollar grant before the floods came. It was a blessing in disguise that the artifacts were stored in another location. I wanted to give Robert a shout-out since he gave me one when he posted about the Depot on May 23. Check out his blog at
www.oil-electric.com because it is very interesting while detailing rails to waterways to boats, etc.
