Milwaukee Road Station
Title:  Milwaukee Road Station
Description:  The bay window was toward the mainline to Green Bay on this former Milwaukee Road depot. A track which branched off south of the building and passed on the west (opposite) side went on to Menasha. In the early 2000's one could find men from the sub's section gang working out of this structure. The building had been refurbished with new windows and doors along with the addition of the garage door on the north end for the maintenance crews. Currently the windows are all boarded up and the building doesn't seem to be used much anymore. At least it is in very good shape, hopefully the CN will not tear this one down.

The depot is currently owned by the Village of Avoca, with the hopes of restoring it. Some nice photos of the depot from 1909 and 1921 can be found at: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/.

MILW Green Bay, WI Depot
Title:  MILW Green Bay, WI Depot
Description:  The south and east walls of the former MILW depot at Green Bay, WI on 24 Sep. '14. The depot, designed by Charles Sumner Frost, was built in 1898 in the Flemish Renaissance Revival style. The railroad abandoned it after they transferred passenger service to their nearby Oakland yard, where passenger service commenced 15 Jan. '58. They deeded it to Green Bay on 17 Dec. '57. The railroad's Women's Club threw a party at the depot the evening of 11 Jan. '58 under the name “Operation Farewell.” About 200 active and retired MILW employees and city officials mingled, ate and danced long into the night. Music was provided by an orchestra from the Bay School of Music. The Chamber of Commerce occupied the building for many years and there have been other short-lived tenants from time to time. It is currently home to Breakthrough Fuel. The depot is also a stop on the new Green Bay Packers' Heritage Trail because the team traveled to some of their road games from here and were often welcomed by ardent fans upon their return to Green Bay. The former right of way on the west side of the depot is now the Fox River State Trail which runs from Hilbert to Green Bay.

MILW Amberg, WI Depot
Title:  MILW Amberg, WI Depot
Description:  South and east (originally north and west) walls of the remaining half of the MILW depot at Amberg (originally Pike), WI on 1 Oct. '14. The depot was built by the Milwaukee & Northern ca. 1884, the year they reached Pike, later renamed Amberg. The depot stood east of the tracks, between Coleman Ave. and Amberg Rd., I believe. It has been moved to Amberg Museum Complex, about 2 1/2 blocks southwest of its original location and 180 degrees to its original orientation. Some modifications were made to the depot over the years, it used to be twice as long (with the bay window near the center of the building), the gable ends both have Dutch lap siding instead of the original vertical board-and-batten, the eave on the original south gable end has been shortened, the decorative gable brackets are missing, and the windows in the south gable end wall are gone. Historic photographs of the depot can be found at: http://amberghistory.org/default.html.

CN 8804, BCOL 4642, CN 2273 at MILW Neenah, WI Depot
Title:  CN 8804, BCOL 4642, CN 2273 at MILW Neenah, WI Depot
Description:  CN ore train passes the former MILW depot as it crawls southwest via the former joint MILW/SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 8 Jan. '15. The depot was built by Milwaukee & Northern in 1882 and is home to the Neenah-Menasha Model Railroad Club. The head of the train had crawled over a mile through Neenah and into Menasha far enough for the train to clear the turnout at the east end of the wye. The train has now reversed to take the east leg of the wye into the yard, before eventually continuing on toward its destination.

MILW/WSOR Horicon, WI Depot
Title:  MILW/WSOR Horicon, WI Depot
Description:  WSOR local has parked next to the former MILW depot at Horicon, WI after completing a trip to Oshkosh and back on Memorial Day, 25 May ‘15. The current depot dates to ca. 1915. The Wis. Railroad Commission, after hearing complaints from the Horicon Advancement Assn., ordered MILW to construct a new depot. The previous depot, built ca. 1888, was deemed too small, outdated, and unsanitary. I haven't been able to determine if this was new construction or if the existing depot was expanded and updated (comparing historic photographs it seems like the later).

MILW Mayville, WI Depot
Title:  MILW Mayville, WI Depot
Description:  The southwest and southeast (originally northeast and northwest) walls of the former MILW Mayville, WI depot now located at Kekoskee, WI, as seen on 31 May '15. It has been moved about 2 miles northwest of its original site in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of N. Walnut St. and Dayton St., originally Fremont and Clark Sts., respectively, in Mayville by the Kekoskee/Williamstown Historical Society after they acquired it in 2007. It is being rehabilitated to serve as their museum. The depot has been significantly modified, it has been shortened from its original length, the large overhangs at the eaves and gables have been cut back, all of the eave brackets are missing, the gable brackets on the northeast end have been damaged, the gable brackets from the southwest end are missing, and the walls of the bay window no longer reach all the way to the roof. I don't know if these modifications were caused by the current or previous owners, but the current owners have built a small addition on the current northern end of the southeast wall.
