DM&IR Knife River, MN Passenger Depot |
| Description: |
The former DM&IR passenger depot seen from the open door of CNW 51 bi-level coach during the excursion to Two Harbors, MN on the North Shore Scenic Railroad (NSSR) at Knife River, MN on 24 Jun. '16. Most references state the depot was built by the D&IR, but I thought the announcer on the train stated it was built by the D&MN or some other bygone railroad. CNW 51 was METX 7702 when in use by METRA. |

W&M Iron Mountain, MI Depot |
| Description: |
The north wall of the former W&M depot at Iron Mountain, MI on 3 Nov. '18. Currently home to Midwest Mini Storage, 111 E. H St. The current depot is W&M’s 2nd for Iron Mountain. In 1903, the W&M built a depot “one mile west of Quinnesec for the purpose of handling the passenger and freight traffic for Iron Mountain.” Horse-drawn carriages and wagons were used to shuttle passengers and freight the approximate 2 ½ miles from downtown to the depot. In 1907, W&M freight trains were able to run into Iron Mountain proper via trackage rights with MILW, passenger trains followed the next year (both utilized the MILW depot). By the end of 1908, W&M extended their own line into the heart of Iron Mountain, but reportedly continued to utilize the MILW depot. The current depot was built between 1923 and 1930, if the Sanborn maps are accurate. The 1923 map depicts the W&M rails coming into town to interchange with the MILW, but not the depot. |
