MILW Winneconne, WI Depot |
| Description: |
The west and north walls of the former MILW depot on W. Main St. at S. 6th St. at Winneconne, WI, as seen on 7 Jun. '15, three days shy of the 42nd anniversary of the last train in town. This is the 2nd depot at Winneconne, WI. The original depot was built by Milwaukee & St. Paul in 1868 on its Ripon to Berlin/Winneconne line, when this section of the branch was laid. That depot burned down on 24 Sep. 1871. The current depot was completed by the Milwaukee & St. Paul in Nov. 1871. The depot was purchased by the Winneconne Historical Society in 1968 and was moved about 1,900 feet, nearly due west, from its original location on N. 1st St. just north of W. Main St. The last train in Winneconne ran on 10 Jun. '73 and the rails were pulled about 6 mos. later. The depot has been well-maintained and houses some nice railroad and local history artifacts. A beautifully restored MILW Fairmont speeder, MILW 8171, and SOO rail cart are spotted in front of the depot. Several other historic buildings have been moved and preserved near the depot and also house exhibits. |

All Quiet Twenty Years Later |
| Description: |
I first discovered Faribault's ex-Milwaukee Road depot during the summer of 1995. Back then a company loaded gondolas with recyclables (?) here. Sadly, that business did not last into the first decades of the 21st Century, resulting in the mothballed tracks you see now. |

Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Depot |
| Description: |
This Italianate style depot was built in 1871 by the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad (Milwaukee Road). It served for both passenger and freight business until the new passenger station was built a couple hundred feet to the south of it in 1907. The Caldwell Lumber Company, formed in 1919 took over us of the structure some time shortly after the new depot was built. Besides being used by Calwell Lumber (still in operation) the building has also been used as a warehouse for Vita-Plus. |

Columbus, WI MILW/AMTK Station |
| Description: |
Looking at southeast and northeast walls of AMTK, former MILW, depot along the CP rails at Columbus, WI on 11 Nov. '15. The depot was constructed in 1906 and originally had a tile roof. The Wisconsin Historical Society has a couple of photographs, http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/. The previous depot, which dates to at least 1885 according to the Sanborn maps, some references state 1870s, is out of frame to right. |

Columbus, WI MILW Station |
| Description: |
Looking at southeast and northeast walls of the former MILW passenger and freight depot along the CP rails at Columbus, WI on 11 Nov. '15. The depot dates to at least 1885 according to the Sanborn maps, some references state 1870s. It is wood-framed with brick veneer. This end, slightly wider than the remainder of the building, was the passenger end. When the new passenger depot (out of frame to left) was built in 1906, this became the freight house. I don't know when the railroad stopped using it, but it obviously became part of the Caldwell Lumber Co. quite a while ago. |

MILW Sherwood, WI Depot |
| Description: |
The former MILW depot at Sherwood, WI on 27 Aug. '16. Built by the CM&StP ca. 1895 at what used to be referred to as Lower Sherwood. A 1971 newspaper article states that it was “remodeled in 1956 from a freight house, when the large depot, station and living quarters was razed.” It was used by MILW and SOO until at least 1971, when they requested permission to close it. The initial request was denied, but it probably wasn’t used much longer. It must be the smallest union depot I've ever seen. It has been moved and is an outbuilding on a farm. |

MILW Iron Mountain, MI Depot |
| Description: |
The north and west walls of the former MILW depot at Iron Mountain, MI on 3 Nov. '18. The depot was built in 1914 (at a cost of about $25,000), to replace the original, wooden depot (built ca. 1886 when the line was laid). The original depot was moved one block to the south and converted into a freight house. The E&LS railroad used the depot at least into the 1990s (if they don't still use/own it). |

MILW Elkhart Lake, WI, Depot |
| Description: |
The southwest and southeast walls of the 1871 M&N depot at Elkhart Lake, WI, on 30 May '20. Some references state that the depot was built in 1870, others say 1872; it was most likely built in 1871, when the rails were laid. It is currently home to Off the Rail, a café at 44 Gottfried St., Elkhart Lake, WI. Some references state that the depot was moved to this spot for use by the feed mill after the 1897 MILW depot (out-of-frame to the right) was completed. The former Elkhart Lake Feed Mill is partially visible in the background. I haven't learned when the feed mill was built, but it dates to at least 1906, the year the Farmers’ Mercantile and Supply Co. was organized. |

MILW Elkhart Lake, WI, Depots |
| Description: |
The southeast and northeast walls of the 1897 MILW depot at Elkhart Lake, WI, on 30 May '20. This view illustrates the proximity of the new depot to the original 1871 M&N depot. The Elkhart Lake Historical Society was formed in 1969 with the goal of preserving the new depot. They purchased it from the MILW for $5,000, spruced it up, and turned it into a museum for local history. Some references state that the original depot was built in 1870, others say 1872; it was most likely built in 1871, when the rails were laid. It is currently home to Off the Rail, a café at 44 W. Gottfried St., Elkhart Lake, WI. Some references state that the depot was moved to that spot for use by the feed mill after the 1897 depot was completed. The former Elkhart Lake Feed Mill, 44 Gottfried (Godfried) St., Elkhart Lake, WI, stands beyond the original depot. I haven't learned when the feed mill was built, but it dates to at least 1906, the year the Farmers’ Mercantile and Supply Co. was organized. This portion of the former M&N, later MILW, main line is currently operated by the WSOR. |

When the Milwaukee Road abandoned its branch line through Harmony, MN, in 1977, the town's depot not only survived but also remained in its original location by the right-of-way through town! Here the building basks beneath unseasonably mild late November skies on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, 2021. |
