St. Charles The W&SW station here, a frame depot located between St. Charles and Whitewater Streets, was destroyed by a cyclone on October 3, 1903.
St. Charles The replacement for the station listed above was made of brick (as shown in the photo) and built in 1904. The CGW tracks were pulled up through St. Charles in 1935, but the depot was maintained on a spur track off the C&NW. The CGW station was still standing, and providing freight service, as of 1968 when the C&NW depot was demolished. The CGW used the C&NW tracks from here to near Eyota where it reconnected with its own tracks (Winona Daily News, 5-19-1968).
St. Charles Built in 1895, the station was closed in January 1967 (Winona Daily News, 1-30-1967) and demolished in 1968 (Winona Daily News, 5-19-1968).
