| The depot was built in 1872, with the
first station agent being R.F. Giles. 1898 saw a
great improvement at the depot. A nice brick walk took
the place of the old wooden platform, adding much to
the appearance of the place. The depot has since been
moved onto a lot on 1st and Elm Street to be used as a
private home. For many years, the railroad was an
important asset to New Albin. It was used not only for
hauling grain and livestock, but also for passengers and
mail until about 1950. ~~source of above 2 photos & depot history: The First 100 Years of New Albin |
