Through history just for the Milwaukee Road in Milwaukee:
1. Small wooden depot on 2nd and St. Paul about where the post office is now. Only one or two tracks. First depot built. It was built North of the Yard that used to exist on that plat of land.
2. Reed Street "Union Depot" on 2nd street but looks to be a few blocks South of what is now St. Paul. This was built to also serve Wisconsin Central, Milwaukee and Northern, and I think there was one other beside the Milwaukee Road. Reed Street was 2nd Street. Existed from sometime after the Civil War to 1890's
3. Everett Street Depot - Milwaukee Road but I think it was also to serve Northern Pacific but not sure the dates that Northern Pacific was in control of Wisconsin Central.
4. Current Intermodal Depot - Built in 1965 with WisDOT funds to serve as consolidated C&NW and Milwaukee Road depot and still in use today.
