Depot to Truck Era Moravia Preserves Historic Wabash Site
Moravia’s former Wabash depot, once a busy hub for passengers and freight, has been moved onto rubber wheels and relocated across the street to a lot owned by the Historical Committee. It will be restored as the centerpiece of a local historical center, preserving its distinctive design while housing artifacts from the community’s past. Nearby Moulton faces demolition of its depot for a new freight facility, with a $65,000 steel building currently rising to serve crews and operations.
