Its April 1978 a view of the CNW Genoa City Wis station the Lake Geneva line .At this location the KD line crossed here also.
[The KD line was the Kenosha and Rockford Railroad. I don't know where the "D" came from.]

I'm posting two views here that i took back in Aug 1977 at Genoa City Wis the Lake Geneva line .There was supposed be a way Freight this day heading to Lake Geneva with lumber but it never showed up .The side door was open but we couldn't find the agent for more information .

This topo map implies the depot was in the north quadrant, but that is wrong. Both routes are now abandoned.

This one correctly indicates that it was in the south quadrant.

And this aerial shows that it was parallel to the KD line.
