Milwaukee Road Artifacts |
| Description: |
Though not in pristine original condition, the Milwaukee Road depot in Madison is looking good and doing well. A fascimilie of a Varsity train resides on the track next to the station. The Varsity operated between Chicago and Madison. The Kohl Center, home of Badger Basketball and Hockey, is in the background of the photo. |

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 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 northwest and southwest walls of the 1871 M&N depot at Elkhart Lake, WI, on 30 May '20. Some references state that it 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 this spot for use by the feed mill after the 1897 depot was completed. The northwest wall of the 1897 MILW depot can be seen in the background to the right (partially obscured by a tree). This portion of the former M&N, later MILW, main line, which runs along the other side of the buildings, is currently operated by the WSOR. |

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 1870 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. |

MILW Hilbert, WI, Depot |
| Description: |
The south and east walls of the CN, former MILW, depot at Hilbert, WI, on 30 May '20. I am not sure if this is the original ca. 1872 M&N depot or not. If it is the original depot, it has been expanded and significantly modified from its original state. The original depot was about half as long as this and had a gabled roof. |

Former Milwaukee Road depot |
| Description: |
The former Milwaukee Road depot at Pine City, WA now serves as a makeshift garage on a farm about a mile from the old MILW right-of-way, and is obviously well protected by a guard dog. |

Still Here After All These Years |
| Description: |
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. |
