Looking west and east on the FW&J in Polk St. on Ft. Wayne's west side, sometime near 1960.

Interesting that it didn't look that much different when the tore it up decades later. If Headwater junction happens and it gets put back in, it will probably look better than it EVER did when it was an actual railroad.
If my opinions offend you, you should see the ones I keep to myself........

If you look at Google at the street, it doesn't really look a whole lot different now.
