Fitchburg, WI: Lost/IC Depot on Madison Branch

(Satellite, the Southwest Commuter Path was the IC route.)

This town was on the Madison Branch.

Normally, it is hard to find the exact location of a lost depot, in this case it was hard to find the town. I think it was where the IC crossed today's US-18: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sSPZHDDE6dSvr66dA. 1890/90 Madison Quad @ 62,500

The IC route was near the left side of this excerpt. So I think the town was in the middle of the left side where the road crosses the railroad.
