| Sam Carlson posted Marshfield, WI. I think it was a Soo depot, but not sure. Mike Polsgrove: Definitely the Soo depot. Still stands as a Chinese [actually, Japanese] Restaurant. Keith Meacham: Nice shot, showing the Hub City Jobbing Company poking up to the right, the square hole in the roof where the Train Order signal WAS (this must be about 1970) and the old Mail Shed on the East End. |

| Keith Meacham commented on Sam's post The C&NW Depot in Marshfield. 8 Blocks farther south. This view is from the Matt Holman Collection by his late Uncle, Bob Lotz, looking west about 1950. [The milk cans are a reminder that dairy farming was important in Wisconsin.] |

| Keith Meacham commented on Sam's post If any of you have any doubts that this is the Soo Line Depot, this should dispel them. |

| Lance Wales commented on Sam's post My view from July of 1984, early morning eastbound passing the Marshfield, WI. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Sam's post According to a 1974 aerial photo, both depots were just east of Central Street. I added the blue line for SOO and the yellow line for C&NW. 1979 Marshfield Quadrangle @ 1,24,000 |

| Chicago & North Western Historical Society posted Someone wanted to see photos of the old roundhouse in Marshfield, Wisconsin. There are three. The broad view on top is said to have been taken around 1912. Neither of the other two are dated and none have any photographer data on their reverses. One photo seems to show an ash pit before the turntable. Steve Schafer: Anyone know what year it was taken down? I remember the yard and depot there from the late 70’s but didn’t recall a roundhouse. Paul Fehrenbach: Steve Schafer I grew up a block from there. Not sure when it was torn down, but an aluminum fabrication factory was there since the ‘60s. [Actually, the Google Maps label says Stainless instead of Aluminum. Maybe they do both.] |

I had to get an older topo map to show the roundhouse. Note that it confirms the location of the two depots.

It is on a fair grounds. Do they still use it for animal shows?

It is used for two-legged animal shows.
