Goodman Wisconsin Marinette County Railroad Depot Real Photo Postcard
The Soo Line Railroad, formally the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Railroad, played a critical role in connecting the resource-rich regions of the Upper Midwest, including northern Wisconsin, to larger markets. In the early 20th century, its network was instrumental in the growth of industries like logging and agriculture, facilitating both freight shipment and passenger travel across vast distances.
Goodman, Wisconsin, founded in 1907 by the Goodman Lumber Company, was one such community whose development was directly linked to the railroad. The station served as a vital nexus for this logging town, enabling the transport of lumber products and providing essential connectivity for residents in a remote area. Such rural depots were emblematic of the railroads' profound impact on settlement and commerce during this era.
