Elevator: (Satellite)

| John Fitzsimmons posted The station at Wells, Mn. Once a busy and important junction on the line from Austin to Mankato, with a branch extending up to St. Clair and Matawan. It appears there are still several customers in town, but the rail ends at Minnesota Lake about 5 miles west. And the St Clair branch is long gone. John Fitzsimmons: Correction: the St. Clair branch started in Albert Lea, not Wells. From Austin, the line came thru Wells and branched north to Mankato, and another line ran west through Jackson, MN on to Wessington Springs, SD. |

| WellsDepotMuseum "The project to restore the depot took six years. In February 2004, the IC&E Railroad contacted the Wells City Development Director with their intent to demolish the 1903 Depot and put up a metal building that would better suit their needs." [It needed a lot of restoration work. Fortunately, the work was done.] |
Given the fall protector, the elevator is probably rail served.
