Depot It took five years to gain possession of the depot through negotiation with Norfolk Southern. It wasn’t that they did not want us to have it, in fact they were trying to give it too us, but the legal departments within the railroad were horribly slow. Actually, that worked to our advantage as we really had no place to move it as was required by the railroad. If it wasn’t moved it would be taken down. Unfortunately it also caught on fire and sustained substantial damage during the time we were waiting to gain possession of it. Built in 1882 it was the cornerstone for the community of Clive. Trains came and trains went. Lots of trains. Freight, mail, cattle, produce, and passengers made their way through the doors of the Clive Depot.
