| Tim Starr posted By the 1930s a lot of roundhouse terminals had unusual shapes and different sized stalls as parts of the structure were enlarged or rebuilt to accommodate larger locomotives. Often a complete tear down wasn't necessary because the older portion could be used for switchers or passenger engines. This one was at Antigo, Wisconsin of the Chicago and North Western. |

It looks like they had a couple of generations of coaling towers.

| Chicago & North Western Historical Society posted OK great minds and eagle eyes. Where might this snapshot photo have been taken? There is no data anywhere on the photo as to the where or when. Paul Scot August: It is Antigo, WI. It is a Ralph Wehlitz photo taken in about 1954, and can be found on page 204 of Joe Follmar's book on Engine Terminals. |

| Chicago & North Western Historical Society posted Someone asked to see another photo of the C&NW presence in Antigo, Wisconsin. Here is a good general shot of the roundhouse, a big one, there. In today's Antigo one can hardly find a C&NW presence beyond the division headquarters building. We sure wish that we had a batch of their AFE records. Kim Potaracke: What are AFE records? Jeff Glinka: Kim Potaracke Authorization For Expenditure - RR had records of everything they bought from buildings and equipment to a box of paper clips! Aaron Grace shared Gone. |

They had a rail classification yard north of town. I included US-45 along the right side to help correlate the aerial with today's satellite images.
