Train stations or depots were the hub of most towns and almost every town had one as it not only moved goods from town to town, but provided a means for people to travel to other parts of the country. But as the use of the automobile became more common, the local depot fell in its importance to a town and by 1950s the smaller towns and cities depots were closed and disappeared from the landscape. Some larger depots are still in use and some of the abandons ones have survived by serving another function such as housing a different business or as the local museum.
