| Iron County Wisconsin Historical Society Museum posted 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. Andrew Roth shared Both the Hurley, WI C&NW and Soo Line depots are in this photo. The Soo Line depot is behind the freight cars. Tim Schneider: when was the last cnw train in hurley? Rich Peters: Tim Schneider passenger train was 1971. Freight train I believe was 1982. I would have to reflect back on my notes. |

| Chicago & North Western Historical Society posted WAY up in Wisconsin at Hurley, Wisconsin. Hurley is right on the Wisconsin side of the Wisconsin/Michigan state line. Does that depot still stand? The photo is a Larry Easton photo taken in November 1964. Mike Stevesand: Hurley may have more bars per block than any place in Wisconsin, which is saying a lot. Angelo Aimone: Mike Stevesand 75 at one time in the 20’s through the 50’s a lot have closed since then . Paul A. Sturgul: Angelo Aimone In 1950 Hurley's quota for taverns was either 77 or 78. |

| Angelo Aimone commented on the above post This is where the depot in Hurley was , I’m guessing it was torn down in the early to mid 70’s . |
