Inscription. Typical in many ways of the small-town depot, this building was unusual in being part of the South Dakota Railroad, one of the few rail lines built inside the state. The line was built originally from Sioux Falls to Colton, and then to Rutland, and finally to Watertown. The towns of Crooks, Lyons, Lake Norden, and Hayti owe their existence to the Central.
