NYC/LE&W Handy Freight House--2 - a photo on Flickriver

            I have received from the Allen County Historical Society of Lima, Ohio, all the information on all the buildings at Handy, Indiana on New York Centrals Egyptian Line, located at the crossing of the Nickel Plate (LE&W) Peoria Division.  I will go from north to south through the interlocking.

So this is Building #4, the shared NYC/LE&W Freight House, located in the S/E quadrant of the diamond. 
 This building was built in 1907 by the LE&W RR with each company owning one-half interest.  Building measures 20' 4" X 30' 4".  Platforms measure: 
 (LE&W side) 90' 9", (NYC side) 59' 6' (front of bldg facing tower) 25' x 19"3".  Building and platforms sit on 12' piles 8' above the grade.  There were 3 windows and 2 doors.  

This photo is looking W/N/W from the back of the building towards the diamond on the other side.
