Here's the one that got whacked by the BN coal train. When I lived there, I was told that it had been the 'Hop Shed' before it was the depot, but I can't prove that.

A topo map marks the location of the old depot.

(I couldn't get an aerial photo because I kept getting "500 Internal Server Error" responses for https://maps.sco.wisc.edu/WHAIFinder/#13/45.1578/-89.1753.)

Update: rebooting my computer got rid of the 500 response.
