The northwest side of the Pembine union depot at the junction of E&LS, former MILW, and CN, former SOO, rails at Pembine, WI, on 30 Sep. '14. The depot was built ca. 1887, when the SOO laid their tracks across the M&N main line. Some references state it was built in 1896, after the original depot was destroyed when a MILW train collided with a SOO train which was fouling the junction on 29 Jan. 1896. Other references state the damage to the original depot was repaired. One reference claims the depot was built in 1914. The ca. 1887 union depot was wantonly destroyed by arson perpetrated by juvenile miscreants on 17 Jun. 2019. |
