Does the AKMD tie up in Malvern and is the former RI depot still there?

They generally tie up at Jones Mills where the offices and shops are. Jones Mills was the site of one of the world's largest aluminum mills. The offices and shops are located in some of the many buildings that were left abandoned when the mill shutdown. This location is known as Jones Mills, but has a Malvern address. Jones Mills is appx. 9.5 miles from the location of this photo by rail. There is not a RI depot in Malvern, but the "Diamond Jo" roundhouse still stands. Joseph Reynolds (Diamond Jo) originally built the narrow gauge route and roundhouse in 1875.
