SOO Marshfield,$WI Depot |
| Description: |
Southeast and northeast walls of the former SOO depot at 112 E. Veterans Parkway, Marshfield, WI on 22 Aug. '15. This is the 3rd WC/SOO depot at Marshfield. The original wooden depot was built ca. 1872 on S. Chestnut Ave. at S. Depot St., it burned down 27 Jun. '87. The 2nd wooden depot was built on S. Depot St. between Central Ave. and Maple St. and was completed ca. Aug. '87. It measured 20' x 125' with 16' walls, 20' x '36 freight room on east end, 12' x '12 baggage room, 18' x '20 ladies waiting room, '20 x '20 men’s waiting room, and 12' x '20 office. It burned down almost exactly 20 years after the 1st one on 16 Jun. '07. Construction of the 3rd and current stone depot commenced soon after at the site of the 2nd depot. Passenger service ended in '65 but the railroad continued to use the depot for many years. The depot was moved ca. '02 in preparation of the Hwy. 13/Veterans Parkway construction project, which opened to traffic 9 Oct. '03. The new road encompassed S. Depot St., so the depot had to be moved about 125' south of its original location. Some references claim the depot was rotated 180 degrees from its original orientation when it was moved. In comparing old photographs, it doesn't look like it was rotated to me. The depot is now home to Royal Tokyo restaurant. |

SOO Milladore, WI Depot |
| Description: |
The former SOO depot sits near the CN tracks at Milladore, WI, on 22 Aug. '15. Milladore was originally known as Mill Creek, the name was changed when the post office was established because a post office with that name already existed in Richland Co. The depot closed in '61. It was moved elsewhere in town in '63 and used as an appliance shop, R. Ulman Electric, owned by Rudy Ulman. At some point it was moved again to its current location where it is used for a shed on a farm. I believe the depot stood between the tracks and Main St./Hwy. P (formerly Hwy. 10), between Haynes St. and Wheeler St. If I hadn’t been on a time schedule, I would have been tempted to seek permission from the property owner to get better photographs. |
