141.8 Whitehall Division	Hatfield	Highway K, about 1/2 mile north of GBW crossing. Jackson County	? - wood	1947	?	CN
	Had a large canopy on each end. When passenger service ended (1949) the railroad sold the station to the owner of Gil's Resort, who moved the depot about 1/2 mile north of the tracks to become his private home. It has been drastically altered and now bears little resemblance to the original station. It was painted a very light green at last sighting.

170.8 Whitehall Division	Blair	On the railroad right-of-way next to a feed mill at the crossing near the dairy plant. Trempealeau County	combination - wood	1874	1963	CN
	It appears to be a storage building for a heating company and is in pretty poor condition.

	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. The City of Whitehall purchased the depot in 2003 and it is now listed on the Wisconsin National Register of Historic Places.
