Its April 1978 a view of the CNW Genoa City Wis station the Lake Geneva line .At this location the KD line crossed here also.
[The KD line was the Kenosha and Rockford Railroad. I don't know where the "D" came from.]

This topo map implies the depot was in the north quadrant, but that is wrong. Both routes are now abandoned.

This one correctly indicates that it was in the south quadrant.

And this aerial shows that it was parallel to the KD line.
