Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 243, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 October 1917 — Building Extension of Monon Depot Platform. [ARTICLE]

Building Extension of Monon Depot Platform.

Ben Smith and his men commenced work on the brick extension on the west end of the platform at the Monon station. The extension will be twelve feet in width and a hundred and thirty feet in length. This is done to accommodate those people who ride in Pullman coaches, which are always at the rear of the train. On account of the long trains being run on the Monon, Pullman coaches are often stopped at a point at which there is no platform.
