Description
Artifacts found in the 1902 Milwaukee Road Depot now located in Caledonia and run by the Caledonia Historical Society (CHS).
This building replaced a depot that burned down just after the turn of the twentieth century . It was located in the town of Corliss (now Sturtevant). Most depots are long straight buildings, this one is “L” shaped. When this depot was built there were two perpendicular rail lines that crossed in Corliss. This depot was designed to handle both lines with the station master in the octagon area. The perimeter windows gave view of both roadbeds. The east – west line was abandoned years ago but the depot continued to service the north – south line until it was replaced by the new Amtrak depot on Hwy 20 in 2006. that burned down just after the turn of the twentieth century .
