Yard: (Satellite, the railyard was redeveloped as industrial property.)

| 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. |

| Bob Walkner posted CNW railroad yard in Antigo, Wi in the 1930s. Scott Wright: At its peak Antigo was home to 300 C&NW employees. In addition to the large engine and car service facilities, boiler house, machine shop and carpenter shop, Antigo also had one of the largest ice houses on the railroad providing ice for 2,000 reefers per year. Richard Fiedler shared Ted Fisk: Looking at Google maps, I can see the abandoned ROW but where would the roundhouse have been? Anyone have street name they could share? |

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.

| Mark Llanuza posted Its July 1981 a view of CNW Antigo station . This might have been the division headquarters. Bill Rosenberg: It was the division office when the Ashland Division was in existence. John Kronschnabl: The bottom window to the left was the Trainmasters office. The window to the right was the roadmaster’s office. I worked there in 1981 and they ran the last train in December and I was out of a job. |
