Ex-GBW / Omaha Road Merrillan Depot, now used by the Union Pacific.

This depot was operated jointly by GB&W and the Omaha Road (later Chicago & North Western).  This depot still looks pretty good today!  It has been repainted and given a new roof by the Union Pacific.  This photo looks northwest and shows Norfolk Southern 9346 East at 8:44 AM, May 9, 2001.

Thank is due once again to Bob Gile out on the "west end" of the old Green Bay Route for supplying this photo.
