C&NW Depot: (Satellite?, I don't have time to look for it.)
This town had other concrete relics: ore loading docks.

| Chicago & North Western Historical Society posted Someone wanted to see a photo of the C&NW roundhouse in Ashland, Wisconsin. Here is one from September 1948. Another notation on the reverse of the photo says that the train on the left is led by #2903 and is Train #116. It is a Don Steffen photo. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on the above post Not only is the roundhouse gone, everything else is also gone. 1947 Ashland Quad @ 48,000 |

Depot
Only a street view from 2008 is available. Views from that year make one appreciate how much the technology has improved since then.

They have preserved a steam locomotive across the street from the depot.

Deep frier failed Old school rot protection? Coat roof rafters in creosote… Not possible to put out Sandra Lowndes: It burned April 1 2000 Craig A Tator: It was rebuilt, probably better and safer than when new.

Mike Patrick posted three photos with the comment: "Ashland Soo/NP depot 4-64, think the NP sign was taken down soon after this, I never saw it again, sorry for the quality on the shot of the south side of the depot, my scanner seems to pick and choose how it copies negs."
Allan Erickson: Had a real bad fire in the restaurant there about 15? yrs ago and I figured the place was toast but they fixed it up. This was a 3 way depot for NP, Soo and CNW. Remember riding the CNW train there from IWD with my grandma and little brother once just for yucks.

It appears that C&NW had their own depot because this does not look the same.

| Ashland Historical Society Museum posted Chicago & Northwestern Railroad depot, Ashland, Wisconsin. You can see Garnich's Hardware behind the depot. The old rink would have been next to Garnich's. Does this bring back any memories for anyone? Enjoy. Jim. Andrew Roth shared |

So whose depot was this?

It's still there as of 6/27/2018.
