Nostalgia & History > MILW Depot GoneDate: 04/21/17 06:31 MILW Depot Gone Author: BN31349 I hadn't driven through Martinsdale (MT) for several years, but on a recent trip, I noticed the depot was gone. Several years ago when I went through there, that relentless west wind was ripping the SW roof corner off. Brick substation at Loweth standing strong. I did not drive to Ringling. Anyone know if that depot is still standing?

Date: 04/21/17 10:11 Interior of Milwaukee Substation at Loweth MT Author: WoodwardEJ I visited the CMStP&P Substation at Loweth MT on July 16, 1996. The exterior photos I took that day are not as good as those posted by several others. You can find those by searching for Loweth in the Media Sharing > Static Photography portion of Trainorders.
Here are two photos of the interior of the Loweth Substation as it was on July 16, 1996.   Date: 04/21/17 14:19 Re: Interior of Milwaukee Substation at Loweth MT Author: terrybaker Here's a link to a 4/14 post that included views of the Ringling depot at that time.
