c1910 postcard view of the P. C. C. & St. L. (Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis) Railway depot at Galveston, Indiana. This line ran from Chicago through Logansport, Kokomo and Indianapolis to Cincinnati. The signs on the depot said the distance to Chicago was 133.2 miles and it was 165.8 miles to Cincinnati. A railroad handcar sat beside the station along with a handcart and some loose wheels. Grain elevator buildings stood along the tracks opposite the depot.
The P. C. C. & St. Louis Railway timetables for December 1907¹ at Galveston show five trains on the route originating in Cincinnati or Richmond and traveling to Logansport or Chicago. Five trains also traveled this route in the opposite direction from either Logansport or Chicago. Two trains in each direction stopped at Galveston. The timetables also show three trains from Chicago traveling to Indianapolis and Louisville via Galveston and three in the opposite direction. Only one of those trains in each direction stopped at Galveston. The stops on the route to and from Louisville were for discharge or pickup of passengers only.
