Blanding is a small railroad junction in Illinois, United States, north of Savanna Army Depot.
Savanna Army Depot
Savanna Army Depot was a 13062 acre installation, located on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, in Carroll and Jo Daviess counties, around 7 mi north of Savanna, Illinois.
 It was opened in 1917 as a proving and testing facility for weapons developed at Rock Island Arsenal.
 In 1921 it became a weapons depot.
 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) listed the depot as a Superfund site in 1989.
 The depot was selected for closure through the Base Realignment and Closure process in July 1995 and was officially closed on March 18, 2000.
 The Jo-Carroll Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) was established to redevelop a portion of the property for commercial and business usage referred to as the Savanna Depot Park.
 On September 26, 2003, the United States Department of Defense agreed to transfer 9404 acre of land to become the Lost Mound Unit of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge.
 3022 acre were initially transferred with the rest to be transferred following environmental cleanup.
 The portion near Lock and Dam No. 12 was transferred to the United States Army Corps of Engineers and a small part to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
List of named highway junctions in Utah
A number of highway junctions in the U.S. state of Utah have names that appear on maps and in state laws designating the highways.
 Sometimes the junction name also refers to the surrounding community or area as well as just the highway junction itself.
 In a few instances, the highway junction shares the name with a nearby railroad junction.
 Such sharing of names does not include the many, many named railroad junctions within the state, some of whose name also refers to the surrounding community or area, but has no relation to any highway junction (for example, Cache Junction).
 La Sal Junction is a very small town with no running businesses. Red River Army Depot
The Red River Army Depot (RRAD) is an 15835 acre facility located 18 mi west of Texarkana, Texas, in Bowie County.
 The facility has over 3000000 sqft of storage capacity.
 RRAD was activated in 1941 to create an ammunition storage facility.
 The depot was supposed to be deactivated after the findings of the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission.
 However, the depot remained open after the commission changed its mind.
 The depot was once again slated for closure upon recommendation from the 2005 BRAC commission, but has remained open to provide maintenance support for the army.
 The depot's primary mission is the maintenance and repair of all tactical wheeled vehicles, which includes repairing MRAPs and HUMVEEs. Letterkenny Army Depot took over some of RRAD's missile systems. Ferromonte Junction
Ferromonte Junction is a railroad junction located in the Kenvil section of Roxbury Township, New Jersey.
 It was originally formed by the crossing at grade of the Central Railroad of New Jersey's High Bridge Branch (former Long Valley Railroad) with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad's Chester Branch (former Chester Railroad) and the connection to the Ferromonte Railroad.
 When the High Bridge Branch was abandoned east of the junction in the early 1980s, a switch was cut in to connect the western portion to the Chester Branch to replace the diamond crossover, and both lines are now operated by the Morristown and Erie Railway. Pueblo Depot Activity
Pueblo Depot Activity "(PUDA)", formerly known as the Pueblo Ordnance Depot and the Pueblo Army Depot, was a U.S. Army ammunition storage and supply facility.
 Responsibility for the depot fell upon the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps, and the first civilians were hired in 1942 as operations began.
 The mission quickly expanded to include general supplies as well.
 It is a 24202 acre site located 14 mi east of Pueblo, Colorado.
 In 1945 they began to receive mass amounts of equipment returning from the combat theaters of World War II.
 Therefore, the mission expanded yet again to include the maintenance and refurbishing of artillery, fire control, and optical material.
 In 1951 the depot assumed responsibility to distribute U.S. Air Force ammunition for an eight-state area, as well as storage of strategic and critical materials for the General Services Administration (GSA).
 They were also tasked to rebuild and provide on-site maintenance support for guided missiles, ensure calibration and maintenance of electronic test equipment and radio-controlled aerial targets.
 They would also provide specialized training for new Army equipment as needed.
 In 1952, Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Denver, Colorado transferred chemical agents and chemical munitions to Pueblo Army Depot for secure storage.
 In 1974 Pueblo Army Depot was redesignated as Pueblo Depot Activity. Illinois Central Passenger Depot-Storm Lake
The Illinois Central Passenger Depot-Storm Lake, also known as the Storm Lake Depot, was an historic building located in Storm Lake, Iowa, United States.
 The Iowa Falls & Sioux City Railroad, an Illinois Central Railroad (IC) subsidiary, built the first tracks through town in 1870.
 They also built a two-story frame combination freight and passenger depot the same year.
 The present depot is a second generation IC structure built of brick.
 The building's architectural style is Prairie School with Tudor Revival elements in the dormer and canopy ends.
 It was designed by IC architect E.E. Bihl, and it is similar to the railroad's depots in Flossmoor, Illinois and Fort Dodge, Iowa.
 The new passenger depot was completed in August, 1915, and the old depot was re-purposed for a dedicated freight depot.
 It was torn down sometime before 1948.
 Passenger service remained high during the 1910s and 1920s, with the decline accelerating after World War II, and it ended all together in the late 1960s.
 While freight trains continue to use the IC's tracks, the depot has been abandoned.
 It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
 The Storm Lake Illinois Central depot was demolished on February 25, 2013. Somerville Junction
Somerville Junction was the name of a railroad junction and station in Somerville, Massachusetts, United States.
 The station, which closed in 1927, was located at the site of the present-day park near the intersection of Centre and Woodbine Streets.
 Nearby, a westward connector split off from the main line of the Boston and Lowell Railroad.
 It was built by the B&L to connect to the Lexington and Arlington Railroad after its 1870 acquisition.
 A branch was later added, extending the connector to form the Fitchburg Cutoff.
 A publication highlighting Somerville railroad history in connection with the MBTA Green Line extension project includes a photo of the depot (also seen here, to the right) and a discussion of Somerville Junction's history.
 Per 1895 maps, the station was situated about 70 yards (65 meters) from the Central Street bridge, and the junction of the tracks was about 240 yards (225 meters) farther northwest. Landenberg Junction, Delaware
Landenberg Junction is an unincorporated community and small railroad junction in New Castle County, Delaware near Wilmington.
 It is situated at the junction of CSX Transportation's Philadelphia Subdivision and the Wilmington and Western Railroad, which operates tourist trains between Greenbank and Hockessin.
 Both lines were formerly owned by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
 The current Wilmington and Western Railroad line ran from the junction at Elsmere to Landenberg, Pennsylvania until the 1940s when the B&O decided to cut back the line to the town of Southwood, Delaware and eventually, the line was cut back to Hockessin in the 1950s. Lexington Army Depot
Lexington Army Depot is a former United States Army facility located in Avon, Kentucky.
 In 1964, it was paired with Blue Grass Army Depot to form Lexington-Blue Grass Army Depot.
 In 1999, the facility was closed after the recommendation of the 1988 Base Realignment and Closure Commission.
