Milwaukee 481         
The 481 waits for the crew at tje Mineral Point depot on a Sunday morning. The Mineral Point & Northern used the second level of the depot for its offices and dispatcher. The MP&N shared the turntable with the Milraukee Road, but had a separate engine house!! The 26 mile MP&N had trackage rights on the Milwaukee from Mineral Point to Highland Jct and then operated on its own track to Highland. The MP&N was abandoned and dismantled in 1930. The depot was built in 1857 and is now a museum.
