East Winona was a passenger train stop with both an
eastbound and westbound platform each with a small
waiting building and a canopy. The GB&W crossed and
interchanged at Winona Jct. a mile or so south and the
C&NW only crossed(no tower or connection). C&NW-Q
interchange was done at La Crosse(30 miles south of
Winona).
