Chicago and North Western Depot and variations may refer to the following stations used by the Chicago and North Western Railway:
Frost & Granger was an architectural partnership from 1898 to 1910 of brothers-in-law Charles Sumner Frost (1856–1931) and Alfred Hoyt Granger (1867–1939). Frost and Granger were known for their designs of train stations and terminals, including the now-demolished Chicago and North Western Terminal, in Chicago. The firm designed several residences in Hyde Park, Illinois, and many other buildings. Several of their buildings are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Tamms Depot, also known as the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad Depot, is a historic railroad station located on Front Street in Tamms, Illinois. Built in 1899, the depot served trains on both the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad. In an unusual arrangement, dispatchers for both railways used the same office in the station. The depot served both passenger and freight trains; the freight trains exported the town's agricultural products, which included livestock, poultry, dairy, and cotton. In addition, the depot functioned as a social center for the town and was the site of numerous business transactions.
The Western and Atlantic Depot is a historic Western and Atlantic Railroad train depot in Dalton, Georgia. It was built in 1852 in the Greek Revival style. The building is the oldest surviving commercial structure in Dalton and is a "fine example" of depot architecture in Georgia in the mid-1800s. It served as both a freight and passenger station.
The Stone Ranch Stage Station is a stagecoach station located near U.S. Routes 20 and 26 northwest of Casper, Wyoming. The station opened in 1890 along a stagecoach line connecting Casper to Lander and Thermopolis. As railroads had not been built further than Casper, the stagecoach provided the primary means of bringing settlers and goods into central Wyoming. The stagecoach station provided food and shelter to travelers along the stagecoach line. After the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad extended its line further into central Wyoming in the early 20th century, the stagecoach line became obsolete and the station closed. It is one of the few Wyoming stagecoach stations which is still standing and relatively intact.
The Southern Railway Depot is a historic building in Decatur, Alabama. The depot was built in 1904–05 along the Southern Railway line. Decatur had become a transportation hub of North Alabama by the 1870s, with its connections to the Tennessee River, the east-west Tuscumbia, Courtland and Decatur Railroad, and the north-south Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
The St. Louis, Peoria and Northern Railroad Depot is a historic railroad station located at 1408 Broadway Street in Pekin, Illinois. The station was built in 1898 when the St. Louis, Peoria and Northern Railway built a line into Pekin; the railroad had formed only two years earlier as an amalgamation of ten other railroad companies. The new railroad provided direct passenger routes to Springfield, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri and opened up better options for shipping freight north through Peoria. The depot became part of the Chicago & Alton Railroad in 1900 when it purchased the St. L. P. & N. line from Peoria to Springfield. The station served both passenger and freight traffic until passenger service ended in the 1930s; the railroad also served as an important part of Pekin's economy, both by employing residents and stimulating local industry. The station is one of the only historic rail-related buildings remaining in Pekin.
Keokuk Union Depot is an historic train station on the west bank of the Mississippi River near downtown Keokuk, Iowa, United States. It was built from 1890 to 1891, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
The Edgerton Depot is a historic railway station located at 20 South Main Street in Edgerton, Wisconsin. The station was built in 1906 to 1907 to serve the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, also known as the Milwaukee Road; it replaced the city's original depot, which opened in 1853 with the railroad. Railroad engineer C.F. Loweth designed the station, which features a hipped roof, bracketed overhanging eaves, a red brick exterior with stone trim, and decorative brick quoins and keystones. The station was critical to the city's tobacco industry, which attracted customers from as far away as Europe; the railroad both shipped tobacco to larger cities and brought business agents to the city's firms. Passenger trains to the station, which were used both by residents and the aforementioned businessmen, primarily served routes to Milwaukee and Chicago. The station was remodeled in 1939, though rail travel in Edgerton had already begun to decline by this point; it fell even more significantly in the 1950s and 1960s, and the station closed in 1971.
The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Railroad Passenger Depot, also known as the Chicago and North Western Railway Passenger Depot and presently as the Douglas Railroad Interpretive Center, was built in 1886 in Douglas, Wyoming to accommodate traffic on the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad's (FE&MV) terminus at the newly built town. The depot was built as a fairly small, cautious investment in a possibly ephemeral frontier town. Immediately following the completion of the depot Douglas saw an epidemic of typhoid fever and the worst winter in a generation, and the railroad decided to push on to Casper for its terminus. The town's population declined from 1600 in 1886 to 900 in 1888. By 1891 Owen Wister reported that Douglas had a population of about 350. However, by 1910 Douglas had 2246 residents and hosted the Wyoming State Fair. The presence of the fair stimulated rail traffic, while the FE&MV merged with the Cheyenne and Northern Railway in 1903. In 1905 oil development started. In the 1950s coal mining began for the Dave Johnson Power Plant and the railway expanded its Douglas facilities to accommodate the traffic, closing the original depot and building a larger facility. The depot was acquired from the railroad's successor, the Chicago and North Western Railway, by the city in 1990.
The Milwaukee Road Depot in Madison, Wisconsin is a railroad depot built in 1903 and operated by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. It served numerous passenger trains, including the Sioux and Varsity, and was located next to a major yard, turntable, and roundhouse. The station was one of two Milwaukee Road stations in Madison, and was also known as West Madison station or West Madison Depot to avoid confusion with Franklin Street station on the east side of Madison. All Milwaukee Road passenger service in Madison was consolidated to this station with the closing of Franklin Street in 1952. The Milwaukee Road's service from Chicago to Minneapolis-St. Paul traveled through Milwaukee and central Wisconsin, bypassing Madison to the north. The railroad's competitor, the Chicago and North Western Railroad, offered direct service northwest to Minneapolis.
The Chicago and North Western Depot is a former railway station in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, which has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984. The station served the Chicago and North Western Railway along the Twin Cities 400 line for much of its life. It was built in 1906, and operated as a passenger station until closing in 1963. Currently, it houses the Reedsburg Chamber of Commerce and the headquarters for the 400 State Trail. The railway line, however, remains in use by Wisconsin and Southern Railroad.
The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Depot in Powder River, Wyoming, also known as Powder River Train Station, was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The Chicago and North Western Depot in Waukesha, Wisconsin is a railroad depot built in 1881 and operated by the Chicago and North Western Railway. It is a 1.5-story cream brick building and was originally built for a predecessor of the C&NW. It now operates as a Mexican restaurant, La Estacion. Behind the building are five passenger cars, believed to have belonged to the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad. These serve as extra dining space. Two boxcars and a caboose sit in the front of the depot, however their origins remain unknown. The depot is located next to a Wisconsin and Southern Railroad mainline, with a junction connecting it and the Canadian National Railway's Waukesha Subdivision just to the east. The C&NW track west of WI 164 has since been removed.
Madison station is a former railroad station in Madison, Wisconsin. The station served passenger and freight trains of the Chicago and North Western Railway (C&NW). Passenger service ended in 1965 and the passenger station and freight depot was bought by Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) and has been renovated to serve as offices. The station and freight depot are listed as contributing properties on the National Register of Historic Places East Wilson Street Historic District. The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad had tracks paralleling the C&NW and also had a nearby passenger station.
