Chicago and Northwestern Depot |
| Description: |
The Milwaukee, Lakeshore and Western was the second railroad to reach Wausau. It arrived in 1880. In 1882, the railroad was bought by the Chicago and Northwestern. In 1899, the CNW built this station to provide service to its growing business in the area. The light colored siding on each end of the station appears to be the result of enclosing the open end platforms. Earlier photos show the same roof line, but with open ends. The bridge in the foreground is spanning the slough, viewing from the east side of the river. The line is currently operated by the Canadian National. |

There are plenty of bridges visible in this shot looking upstream of the slough near downtown Wausau. From front to rear are the former CNW mainline bridge, the traffic Slough Bridge, the industrial spur leading to Graphic Packaging International and the Scott Street/Stewart Avenue Bridge. |

A look across the spans that took the CNW Green Bay to Marshfield main line across the Wisconsin River in Wausau. The old CNW 1899 built depot is just out of frame to the right in this view from the east bank. |

Western Spans Across the Wisconsin |
| Description: |
These plate girder spans bridge the main part of the Wisconsin River above the dam in Wausau. This bridge once carried the CNW main from Green Bay to Marshfield. The track is now a branch that truncates just outside Wausau to the west for the CN. |

| Title: |
Crossing from Barkers Island to the West |
| Description: |
A typical Chicago and Northwestern truss between Barkers Island and the west bank of the Wisconsin River. This line is an industrial spur that branched off the main just before both crossed the slough. This spur ends at Graphic Packaging International. Judging from how the rails are kept clear of obstacles, Graphic Packaging may still receive rail service in 2017. |

CNW Passenger Station in the Heart of the City |
| Description: |
Looking east from the west bank of the Wisconsin River at the 1899 built CNW station. The station is uniquely located on an island, just below the downtown area. This line was once a mainline from Green Bay to Marshfield and on to St. Paul/Minneapolis. It now ends just outside Wausau to the west of town at an industrial park. |
