Someone wanted to see photos of the C&NW in Janesville, Wisconsin. Here are three. The first is from an old photo postcard dated about 1910. The second and third are of the C&NW's Janesville depot from the 1930s and 1950s?

1955 aerial I included the river for orientation because the streets have changed so much. The depot is near the lower-left corner. [AR1VDG000100032]

Janesville WI yards.... (now UP)  december 2024
Josh Dulak: What's sad is 90+ percent of this rolling stock is unused and stored. A far cry from the significance of what this yard held back in the days when GM was operating in Janesville. A few years ago they were cutting up cars down near the overpass using track 15 (the 3rd track from the right side of this photo)
