All - Have attached a photo of the Cochrane, WI, station taken in 1910.
A bit of trivia, many of the stations on the long abandoned LaCrosse & Southeastern Railroad from Stoddard east to Viroqua, WI, were constructed to the same design.
This station would look good on most any rural layout. Best Regards - Louis

During the 1970's, a number of these depots still survived in Wisconsin along the river in the early BN years, including Cassville, Ferryville, Cochrane, Pepin, Bay City, Prescott and others, most used for m-o-w. Cochrane was the last one to be a train order office, with a semaphore, lasting into the late 1980's. The only surviving one in WI to my knowledge is Pepin, now located in a park along Highway 35 in that town.

Most have large overhang high hip roofs and would not be a big deal to build using evergreen drop siding and commercial window and door castings. I think the old Laverne depot on the east end was built following CB&N plans and there are a couple of that style that survive. Charlie Vlk
