Michael Green's recent E-mail to ICON entitled "Henrietta: 1943 | Shorpy" included a link to the subject depot area.

Using the Google satellite map (which is shown below the black and white photo in the Shorpy link), I looked around to see what I could find (I have no doubt that someday, someone WILL find an insulator or stockpile using a Google satellite map).

After finally navigating off the overpass which overlooks the depot, I found a road and investigated further. Is that a threaded pin in the center of this photo (See "view original" and look below the yellow-banded pole stabilizer).. I believe so! The only problem is, these satellite photos are not real-time and can be months old from what I've been told..

What do you think?
