History
Originally built with ten stalls, five more were added by 1921. It is constructed primarily with poured concrete, and later additions were added in brick. It was closed in 1961 due to its inability to house the new larger diesel engined locomotives. After its closure, It was used by a farm manufacturing firm, and then a cattle auction market.
