The old Hurley Train Depot, long gone. Who remembers picking up someone there, back in the days when it was easier and faster to travel by rail?

Trish Osier: Where was this located in Hurley?

Iron County Wisconsin Historical Society Museum: On the corner of Silver Street and 5th Avenue, where the start of the Iron Horse Trail is now.

Rich Peters: Tim Schneider passenger train was 1971. Freight train I believe was 1982. I would have to reflect back on my notes.
