Rockland, WI: Milw and C&NW Union Depot

Rockland, Wisconsin
This a very unique way to place a depot, perpendicular to the rails on either side.
CNW on one side, Milwaukee Road on the other.
Strange …..

The C&NW route is now the La Crosse River State Trail.

The C&NW route joined the Milwaukee route just west of Tunnel City to share a tunnel. [Dennis DeBruler]

There is only one road in this town that crossed the tracks, but  are we facing East or West. I got an aerial photo to answer that question. We are facing East.
