<p>[quote user="kschmidt"]</p><p> It is being prepared to be moved. However it will not be trackside in its new home. It being moved to a historical site in Caledonia, WI to join Caledonia's town hall I believe. However the station or the peices of it can only be moved between 12midnight and 4am and can move along at 5mph. 4 hours is not long enough to get the station to the new location so they have to find a farm field to park it during the day. That's about all I can add to the station status. </p><p>Keith Schmidt <br></p><p>[/quote] </p><p>Man that's surprising. I was only inside that depot twice - when my dad, my sister and I took a day trip to Chicago just after the Amtrak start-up in 1971 (think that was the year). The depot looked awfully fragile <u>then</u>. I remember it was an ex-Penn Central F7 or FP7 on the way down, still in its PC livery and markings, and we had an Amtrak covered wagon on the way back.<br></p>
