GB&W's Whitehall depot.
Built in 1914, the GB&W sold the depot in 1963 and over the ensuing years
it served a number of purposes, including a real estate office and dental
office. It is currently offered for sale.
In the days of steam power on the
railroad, a large 170-ton coal chute was located on a spur just beyond the depot.
The coal chute was built not long after the La Crosse
branch was abandoned in 1922.
Thank is due once again to Bob Gile out on the "west end" of
the old Green Bay Route for supplying this photo.
