SOO Shawano, WI Depot |
| Description: |
The southeast and northeast walls of the SOO depot in Shawano, WI on 30 Jul. '13. It was built by the Wisconsin and Northern in 1906, in the Victorian style. This depot was removed sometime between 30 Jul. and 23 Nov. ’13. I say removed because my foolish, optimistic side hopes that it was somehow saved and moved to some as yet unknown location. However, my realistic side suspects that the CN unceremoniously bulldozed it and hauled the remains to a landfill. |

MILW/SOO Pembine, WI Union Depot |
| Description: |
The northeast side of the Pembine union depot at the junction of E&LS, former MILW, and CN, former SOO, rails at Pembine, WI, on 30 Sep. '14. The depot was built ca. 1887, when the SOO laid their tracks across the M&N main line. Some references state it was built in 1896, after the original depot was destroyed when a MILW train collided with a SOO train which was fouling the junction on 29 Jan. 1896. Other references state the damage to the original depot was repaired. One reference claims the depot was built in 1914. The ca. 1887 union depot was wantonly destroyed by arson perpetrated by juvenile miscreants on 17 Jun. 2019. |

SOO Waupaca, WI Freight House |
| Description: |
CN local passes behind the former SOO freight house as it approaches Oak St./Hwy. E while servicing Waupaca Foundry, Plant 1, out of frame to left, at Waupaca, WI on 4 Apr. '15. This is the 2nd WC/SOO freight house at Waupaca. It was built in early 1949 after the original freight house burned down in Nov. '48. The bowling alley next door to the south caught fire and the flames spread to the freight house. The original 1871 WC passenger depot was converted into a freight house after the 2nd depot was completed in Apr. ‘81. The 1st freight house had been moved from its original location to the current freight house location ca. 1901, when the 2nd depot was moved to the west side of Guard St., now Oak St. |

SOO North Fond du Lac, WI Depot |
| Description: |
The southwest wall of the SOO, originally WC, North Fond du Lac, WI depot, now located at the Historic Galloway House & Village at Fond du Lac, WI, as seen on 31 May '15. I believe this would have been the north wall when it was at its original site. The depot was built ca. 1906, after the Wis. Railroad Commission ordered the WC to do so. After about 7-9 years of appeals by the new village to the WC went unanswered, a group of about 30 business owners filed a petition with the Commission in 1905. I haven’t been able to pinpoint the original site of the depot, but the Commission ordered it erected “immediately south of the point where the south line of Clinton street would intersect said line of railway if the same were extended in an easterly direction to such line of road, and that a right of way be furnished over and across the yard of the respondent Railway Company from the east line of Marcou street to said depot, sufficient for the purpose of enabling teams and foot passengers to pass over the same.” The depot was acquired from the railroad and moved to its current location ca. 1974, thanks to the efforts of Fred A. Weller. |

SOO North Fond du Lac, WI Depot |
| Description: |
The northwest and northeast walls of the SOO, originally WC, North Fond du Lac, WI depot, now located at the Historic Galloway House & Village at Fond du Lac, WI, as seen on 31 May '15. I believe these would have been the east and south walls when it was at its original site. The depot was built ca. 1906, after the Wisconsin Railroad Commission ordered the WC to do so. After about 7-9 years of appeals by the new village to the WC went unanswered, a group of about 30 business owners filed a petition with the Commission in 1905.

CN 2880, CN 2037, CN 207 |
| Description: |
CN autorack train passes the former SOO depot as it heads northwest through Waupaca, WI on Independence Day, 4 Jul. '15. This depot was built by WC in 1907 and opened in 1908; it is the 3rd WC depot at Waupaca. Passenger service ended in Jan. ‘65, but the railroad continued to use the depot until 1987. It stood vacant and decaying for many years until restoration began after it was purchased from the CN in 2004. The previous wooden depot had burned down on 5 May 1907. That 2nd depot was completed in Apr. 1881, when the original ca. 1871 depot was converted into a freight house. That original depot, then freight house, burned down in Nov. ’48. That led to the construction of the current brick freight house in early 1949, it is partially visible to the right of the lead locomotive. Train had three locomotives, CN 2880, CN 2037, and CN 207. |

SOO Loyfl, WI Depot (replica) |
| Description: |
A replica of the second SOO depot at Loyal, WI on 21 Aug. '15. The original depot was built by WC ca. 1891 when the line was laid. It stood at intersection of E. Depot St. and E. Mill St., it burned down ca. May '17. The second depot was completed in Nov. '17, at 24' x 90' it was the largest depot on that branch. It was dismantled in '68. The Irban and Leona Aumann family constructed a replica of the second depot in '00. They donated it to the Loyal Area Historical Society for a museum in '05 and moved to its present location at 501 E. Elm Dr./Hwy. 98, about 1,500 ft. NE of the original site. A reduced scale replica of the water tower that stood next to the depot has also been built. A collection of SOO station signs, most from northern WI, adorns the water tower. |
