Rod Riley photo, 1973. The slanted roof building on the left is for coal storage. The depot is in the middle. Just left and behind the depot was a grain warehouse.

This is the highway side of the coal bins. Click here for more photos.

Hamilton had a house track and a siding. The siding was used for loading grain with a portable blower in the 50s.

When first founded, the town was called Fullerton. It was later changed to Hamilton.

"The warehouse at Hamilton had a ATSF boxcar still in Santa Fe paint built into it because a car derailed and demolished a shed so the railroad gave them a boxcar which they built in. I spotted feed at it door to door. Occasional gondolas for logs were loaded on the spur." Rod Riley

The depot, a Branchline Standard #2, still stands. Two extensions were added giving a second freight door and larger waiting room. Click here for more photos.

The stock yard had 31 car capacity, 10 pens, hydrant, and a 6 ton scale. A lot of cattle was loaded here in the 50s.
