Gatekeepers Shanty This rebuilt shanty replicates the shanty that sheltered the gatekeeper as he waited to lower the gates for trains. He knew of their approach by signals from sensors located in the tracks. After the original shanty was torn down when the gates were automated, David Erickson, owner of the Depot, had the shanty rebuilt. John Peterson who lived on Harwood Avenue and visited the gatekeepers salvaged the door and chimney from the original shanty. These were used in the rebuilt one.
