Washington, IA: Preserved/Milwaukee Depot

Street View, Dec 2021

It was a beautiful thing! She hit both whistles approaching the depot!

Both Rock Island and Milwaukee went east/west through town and CB&Q terminated in this town.

Milwaukee and RI crossed on the west side so the northern tracks were Milwaukee. Thus the extant depot would be Milwaukee and the RI depot was south of the tracks. I assume that CB&Q shared RI's depot. According to the 2004 SPV Map, ICE uses RI to the east and Milwaukee to the west. RI to the west is now the Kewash Nature Trail and Milwaukee to the east is abandoned.
