The NSRC granted permission
to the U.P on April 11, 1962, to discontinue its agent and close
its station at St. Libory, with Mr. Plake then being the manager.
The depot was relocated by the Williams Brothers House movers
of Hastings. The building was moved in September 1964, according
to Gary Williams. The actual moving was accomplished in one
day.

Libory Depot ca.1960s |
According to Mike Nielsen, elevator manager as of July 1979,
the depot was gutted inside, with all partitions removed to
make the building one large room for the storage it is used
for. He did not remember the structure as having had a bay window
in it. Most doors and windows were boarded over while the building
had been tinned over on two sides. Nielsen did not recall what
happened to the St. Libory signboards, though he supposed they
were around someplace. It would
appear the depot was painted in the old U.P. yellow and brown
paint scheme after the structure's windows and doors had been
boarded over. |
